There is a petition circulating. The petition is addressed to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and all U.S. military personnel. It urges them to defy orders to attack Iran. It points out that a pre-emptive war with Iran is a war crime under international law. It reminds military personnel of the statute in the Army Field Manual 27-10, Section 609, and Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 92, that states: “A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the law of the United States. ...”The petition notes that any provision of an international treaty ratified by the United States becomes the law of the United States. The United States is a party and signatory to the United Nations Charter, of which Article II, Section 4, states, “All members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. ...”
Iran has not attacked the United States.

Further information about this perspective can be found in my clip "Dr Bob Bowman's Open Letter To Today's Military Officers" and it's source. My firm belief is that if the day comes that the history of our nation is written honestly, Dr. Bowman and the men he address who like him understand this truth will be writ large as the real patriots of our day and be celebrated as the national heroes they would be for acting on these truths if push came to shove.

We are not going to attack Iran.
I've said it for over a year.
We are not going to attack Iran.
This is MOSTLY pumped by those invested in maintaining an unfavorable attitude toward the U.S.
(Yes, I know the quotes about nothing is off the table, etc.)
