Please stop talking about any civilian contracts in this thread. It is not related at all unless you have signed that Enlistment Contract.

why do you not understand that military contract (with soldiers, not civilians) is AS IS? It never changes. they have only 2 choices - sign or leave. Not very hard to understand, isn't it? BTW - the employer is Uncle Sam. There's no negotiation with him. take it or leave it. very simple.

I responsed Reba´s post.

What rights? He broke the contract. He was ordered to go to Iraq. That's all. It didn't say that he has to go to Iraq and kill some people. He can even probably stay in Iraq for a week and then be ordered to go somewhere else.

With his officer ranking, he is in position to help make sure Iraqis and soldiers are well-taken care of. We need more fine leaders out there to make sure everything's ok and they don't even need to be in combat zone. It can even take ONE courageous officer with smart strategy to win the hearts and minds of Iraqis! Do you rather the office be run by incompetent or callous officers who do not care about people and enforce unfair rules like curfew?

He deserted his own men. How is that a bravery to abandon your own men? There are many people who entrusted their lives in him as a leader but he shit on them and does not care about them except his own life. That's not bravery - it's a cowardice. Bravery is to accept the order of deployment and do his best to protect his men and Iraqis from harm. That's bravery.

Please do us a favor and stop defending your position with this lost cause. Many of us agreed that Lt. Watada is guilty of charges. Please find another example. Lt. Watada is a very poor choice.

This is your opinion as I have my opinion as well. I stand what I beleive in...
