While reading bloglines this week, I came across this story from MTV News. Ehren Watada is the first active solider to refuse deployment to Iraq. "The court-martial of Ehren Watada, an Army lieutenant who refused to deploy to Iraq, ended in a mistrial Wednesday (February 7) after a judge ruled that the soldier misunderstood a document he signed admitting to some of the charges against him. Military judge Lieutenant Colonel John Head, who set a March 12 date for a new trial, ruled that Watada intended to acknowledge that he did not go to Iraq with his unit in June but never meant to admit he had a duty to go there."
And you can watch this story on youtube here.
There are tons of videos about him on youtube, and here is his official website.
