A lieutenant says he is going to refuse to go, saying it's an unjust war. Anti-war groups are rallying to his defense.

Lt. Ehren Watada of the Stryker Brigade writes, "I refuse to be silent any longer. I refuse to watch families torn apart, while the President tells us to ‘stay the course.’ I refuse to be party to an illegal and immoral war against people who did nothing to deserve our aggression.

This is such an easy one it won't really be any fun, well the legal part at least. Yeah there just isn't a whole lot of room in military justice for the opinions of those serving as to their lawful orders, especially not Liuetenants who are not authorized or even capable of thinking. So the LT will go to jail or run away, but the fun will come when the anti crowd on the left gets good and frothing on how this is another example of how W's illegal war of aggression against a peaceful kite-flying paradise is not just wrong, but evil.

Maybe the LT will get lucky and he can bunk with Pvt. Graner of Abu Ghraib fame, he could be base man in an all-refusenik naked pyramid. Oh wait, there aren't enough other maroons like him to even make a decent pyramid. I blame Bush for that, he is not evil enough to inspire more fools like the LT to shame and dishonor themselves.

Honestly, I don't know this jagoff, so I will not comment on his sincerity, but his actions show he never had the abililty to see beyond his little self. And we are better off with him making little rocks out of big ones than we would ever be with him in a leadership position in Iraq. So buh-bye LT write when you meet a nice man and settle down.
