Lt. Ehren Watada

Until about 2 hours ago, I had no clue who Lt. Ehren Watada was , nor any idea why the US Army is proceeding w/ a court martial trial against him. Upon reading a news article, I came to the conclusion that since he refused a troop movement with his unit to Iraq , and since he was a volunteer in the armed forces , that the court martial was justified. For some reason, don't ask me why, I decided to click a link at the end of the article that led to a web site that explained a bit more to this story. Rather then attempting to explain it here, I thought it best to just provide the link to this site and allow people to see for themselves. LT Ehren Watada's Story.

The story behind the story changed my opinion regarding Lt. Watada , although his actions are clearly in violation of our military standards. That being said, I do wish Lt. Watada all the best in his trial & I'll probably be revisiting this topic in the near future.
Please note that Lt. Ehren Watada might be the first officer to publicly refuse to deploy to Iraq.
