Lt. Ehren Watada refuses to serve in Iraq. You probably know his story. His trial begins on February 5. According to his lawyer, who was interviewed along with Watada today on Fresh Air, the judicial decisions leading up to the court martial have ensured that that what will happen on the 5th will be a disciplinary hearing instead of any search for justice.
You've probably heard this before but Lt. Watada is an authentic American hero, who is willing to sacrifice his freedom to fulfill his oath to uphold and defend our Constitution. If you don't know the details of his story, spend some time at the site, Thank You Lt. Watada. The link to the Fresh Air interview is there as well as chance to purchase merchandise to help defray the cost of his defense.
