You cannot compare the ex-Iraqi military to the American military

I didn't. I compared the reasons for which they fought.

Iraq decided that it needed to invade Kuwait. It was not the place for the soldiers to decide if the invasion was right or wrong.
My understanding is that this is a basic military principle. I am surprised that it's even subject to discussion.

In the first place, "Iraq" didn't decide to invade Kuwait, Saddam Hussein and his hand-picked government did.
But you must also think that the Germans who resisted and refused to fight for Hitler were wrong for doing so? You are the only person I've ever heard of who agrees with this.
