Tell that to a widow in Falluja, or a mother in Beirut whose children (two sons) have died.
Yup, they're doing their job. Yup, they made a commitment.
I fail to see the "honor".
Lies are just that...LIES.
To continue to believe that somehow they'll come true (click your heels together three times Dorothy and turn around) will not make the truth happen.
Only when the curtain was torn back so that the "wizard" could be seen for the Oz he created exposed the reality.

I'll repeat, there is no honor in lies. No truth in deception. No security in creating fear.

The truth will stand on its own.

I'm sick of those that make up excuses for attempting to "spin" it otherwise.
