Monday

at the Nuremberg Trials tried to declare that they were just "following orders"..........ask how well THAT worked out as a defense for them.......................

In Vietnam, to avoid calling it a WAR, as I recall, they called it a "Police Action", at least for awhile......
By not calling it a war, they got around having to have congress declare it as a war???????Avoiding the War declaration act where congress had to be notified within three days of declaring war, and also approve of it, or the actions had to be ceased immediately.......????????

Anyone out there know more about this, or what I am talking about??????????
