Now I know he may be considered a hero to some of you confused people, but for the record Ehren Watada is a coward and a deserter. I sincerely hope he is charged with every possible violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
I refuse to give him the honor of addressing him as Lieutenant. He no longer deserves that title or prestige. How can you turn your back on the men you lead, especially as an officer.
As a veteran U.S. Marine that served in Iraq twice in the Infantry, we all have our own personal feelings in regards what is going on in this war, but REGARDLESS of those feelings they do not supersede your orders, obligation, and oath of loyalty you swore in carrying out the orders of your superiors and defending this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.
You do not get to choose the mission, the mission chooses you. If every service member got to question the political correctness of an order, you would then have an unprofessional and undisciplined force.
