“Army refiles charges against cut-and-runner By Michelle Malkin · February 24, 2007 05:09 PM
An update on the Ehren Watada case from the Seattle Times:
Undaunted by an initial mistrial, the Army on Friday refiled charges against 1st. Lt. Ehren Watada, a Fort Lewis officer who faces up to six years in prison for failing to deploy to Iraq and alleged misconduct.
"These are serious charges, and the next step will be to set a trial date," said Joe Piek, a spokesman at Fort Lewis, where Watada continues to serve as an active-duty officer.
Watada is the first Army officer to face court-martial for refusing to serve in Iraq, and his case has drawn international attention as the Hawaiian-born officer has allied himself with peace groups and repeatedly attacked the Bush administration's conduct of the war.”
Good for the Army.
Cowardice cannot be rewarded.
This guy cannot be allowed to walk away from this. He is a disgrace to the uniform and a miserable example of a human being. To allow this will affect the morale of the troops who stand tall in the face of the enemy and make a mockery of their bravery and sacrifice.
