I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me with that link. It proved what we're saying - Canadian Supreme Court said the soldiers' reason for desertion and refusal to obey the "illegal" order is irrelevant for refugee status. Same thing for Watada. His reason of disobeying the order of deployment based on the illegality of Iraq War is IRRELEVANT.
