Is Ehren Watada cool or what?

Question

Japanese are known to be smart and have good conscience. I think its cool, how he did a lot of research before making the decision he made. I wish him LUCK.

Answer 1

I am not sure if "cool" is the best word to describe First Lieutenant Ehren Watada. I would like to think of him an an 'example' instead. I will be following his court case, since it is rare to see an individual in the Army challenge his direct superiors (the military) AND his government. Even if one does enter the military, one still has a conscience, and the right to freely object is a right that the military should preserve.

Answer 2

I'm thinking that Bush and his buddies had no wishes in seeing him prosecuted or the publicity his trial would have received regardless of the verdict.

Either that or someone saved him the embarassment.

Answer 3

LT. watada is the worst soldier in the history. when nation is at war you do not say what you wish, you are soldier, as a soldier you have to forget about your thoughts. he is not a citizen, he is a soldir, and laws that we have, he dont have. yes he shows his will, but he had to keep it to him self. if he dont believe in what US is doing, then he should not have joined. when you sign it said you will fitht for america risking your life. meaning do it or die!!! and im not even american and i know this.

Answer 4

You have to be kidding. He is worthless. He has no honor. he should have to pay back all earned income while he has been in service and punished as well.
