It all depends on the circumstances.\n\nIf I say to my neighbor,"I'm going to sue you." while knowing I have no grounds, that is actually legal.\n\nBut, if say this corporation is your employer or has some direct affect on you, then yes that is called extortion and is illegal.

Yes. They have a right to replace a worker that is not committed to the business. Now, an employer cannot fire a National Guard or reserviist if he hired them knowing they were. But, if you decide while employed to join military, you're on your own.

If you were listed as an officer or director of the company "in name only", I doubt you have any personal liability as you had no responsibilities, authority or duties and you were not being compensated.  You made no decisions, signed no contracts, did not file or sign any tax returns, etc.  It should be fairly easy to have yourself removed as a defendant.\n\nYou may have also been served because you are listed as the registered agent.\n\nIt really has nothing to do with fraud.  You had the ability to "resign" and remove your name at any time by filing the appropriate paperwork with the division of corporations for your state.  If you suspected that you were an officer of a corporation against your will, you could have done a search and found out for certain.

We are.  The law states that corporations are citizens with all the rights that go with that.  Corporations may have organs, but none of them is a heart, a brain, a lung, or a soul.  We need to refine our laws so that this inequivalence is reflected in our law, and we can hold corporations as accountable as our human citizens.  Aside from that, there will probably always be some crime among humans, and likewise crime among corporations.

I'm sure it's possible.  I have no idea what's involved except the need to have lots of money.  And I'd think you'd risk talking to an FBI agent before you'd actually find a real mercenary.  In other words, give up the idea.  It's illegal.  You'll get caught.

Actually they really can not do much of anything. A Personnel Manager told me once, that really all he can do is verify a person worked for the company. If, they were to say anything bad, the Dictatorship allows the person to sue the company. Now, with that said, we can assume there a Company Code/Understanding in the business world, that what said behind closed doors stays there. IF, you see what I say.

No Soldiers, according to the book , have a duty to obey any illegal or immoral order or command. Thus no soldier can be compelled to act illegally or immorally. However a claim of an illegal war is defined by the seated government and the juxtaposition of the Geneva Accords & Conventions. As for the chain of command, the proper channels and protocals define proper obligations for tose initiated, like them or not!

A terrorist for someone is a freedom fighter for other. It actually depends on which side you are. Yes you are right there is no difference between a marine killing a civilian and a terrorist killing a civilian.

No, but an HR dept isn't REQUIRED regardless.  However, the term "independent contractor" implies that they are NOT your employees.  They are working for themselves (contracting their services out to you) at jobs/leads you provide for them.

the geneva convention applies to the enemy's UNIFORMED MILITARY personnel, terrorists aren't even in the military, much less uniformed.\n\nand if we happen to be fighting an official military, we signed the convention, but if they didn't, they can do whatevery they want. we, on the other hand, have to abide by the convention.\n\ndid you know the geneva convention says you can't shoot at an ejected pilot, but you CAN shoot a paratrooper?

Trying to keep the people in Haiti from killing each other, but if its the usuall UN mercenaries that are sent to poor countries , they are usually running the black market and houses of prostitution. UN troops are mostly from countries poorer than the countries they are helping, and the countries that send their trash are usually paid by rich countries like the U.S.
