They are citizen soliders who bow down to no tyrants. It is the duty of every professional Officer to refuse illegal and immoral orders. In Watada's situation he believes the War is illegal and so in accordance with his sacred duty as an Officer refuses to deploy. Watada is also willing to bear the consequenses of his decision. ‘If you want to (not) deploy, then don’t join the military in the first place’

sorry, our Officer class isn’t a bunch of mindless automatons. They are citizen soliders who bow down to no tyrants.

It is the duty of every professional Officer to refuse illegal and immoral orders. In Watada’s situation he believes the War is illegal and so in accordance with his sacred duty as an Officer refuses to deploy.

Watada is also willing to bear the consequenses of his decision.

We'll see whether this young man's rights will be protected.

It's not double jeopardy. It would only be double jeopardy if there had been a ruling in the original case. I thought everyone knew this. IF you have a mistrial, you can have a do-over.

Tons of ass-kissers who pay lip service to the well being of the troops.And in some cases thieves when gear turns up missing and troops are suspected instead of warrant oficers. As the Army's CID about that !! Steve Sulkanen I wish to hell there had Watadas when I was in the stinking Army in the 60s.

Where are the hundred of thousands of lawyers in this country? They need to step up to the plate and fight for liberty and justice which is being denied us by this federal government, to put it mildly. They better not try him twice.
