Cowardice in Army Officer Corps

The Seattle Times reports that a Ft. Lewis Army Lieutenant has refused to deploy to Iraq, as ordered. In a statement, Lt. Ehren Watada actually said "The wholesale slaughter and mistreatment of the Iraqi people with only limited accountability is not only a terrible moral injustice, but a contradiction to the Army's own Law of Land Warfare. My participation would make me party to war crimes." Unbelievable. This guy volunteers for the Army, the Infantry, and to serve as an officer, but now, when ordered to deploy, suddenly objects. This from a volunteer who joined after the war began. And interestingly, his father fled the country to avoid the Vietnam draft. I guess cowardice runs in the family. Enjoy Leavenworth, scumbag. And while you're making big rocks into little rocks, and little rocks into dust, another officer will serve in your place.
