Look a little deeper and you'll see this guy had a definite political angle. I got no problem with peopel speaking out. But if you go and attend West Point, volunteer to serve your country and take the slot of someo other real patriot so you can have a pedigree education and then turn around and refuse orders, then you are full of it. 
Like it or not, the COngress authorized the use of force. Like it or not, most people were in favor of the War, and like it or not, the boat has already sailed. What we need is for people like Watada to make up their minds who thety are servi8ng before they get in and affect the morale of the units they serve in. 
He may get a choice and get out of this mess. Private Snuffy can't. If Watad wants to make a diofference, then he ought to follow his orders, and once he has completed his tour, resign. Then, he can go into politics like his dad. Isn't that where this is going anyway?
