Officer Refuses to Go to Iraq

Lt. Ehren Watada considers the Iraq War "unjust," and is therefore refusing to go to Iraq when his unit is deployed.

"I refuse to be party to an illegal and immoral war against people who did nothing to deserve our aggression."

Watada will surely become a Cindy Sheehan-esque hero to the Left/MSM. Nevertheless, he should be immediately dishonorably discharged.

*Update*
Michelle Malkin has some interesting info on the story, with lots of emails from military folks, including:

This guy graduated from college and then joined the Army, going to Officer Candidate school, AFTER we had already started the Iraq campaign just to claim it was an "illegal" war when his unit is called to go. Smells funny to me. In my mind either the Army gave a commission to an idiot not aware of current events or he planned this all along.
