This is the army officer who refused to deploy to Iraq with his stryker brigade because he believed he was being sent to fight an "illegal" war.

How much you want to bet he ends up in Canada. No doubt they would be glad to have him.

We're just chock full of vitriol today.

there was this sign saying "Vitriol" on a sliding door.......

:rofl hey! I resemble that remark
-
Not his call to make. Our military was sent there lawfully by order of the president and congress. Bet he cashes his salary checks though. Far as I am concerned he can follow orders or go to levenworth.
-
We pretty much knew this was going to happen a while ago. Soldiers can't question the war, but only singular orders.

I was going to Suggest that he refuse to deploy because the Stryker is so dang ugly, that's when it hit me!
The US Defense Industry is being run by Matel!

I wouldn't deploy in that plastic POS either! Everytime you went down a slide, the top would pop off, and snake-eyes would go flying.

I tried using a jigsaw to make that side door open only to have a toy that would take on water every time I put it in the creek for an amphibious assault on Cobras HQ across the way.
Da*n those Cobra saboteurs taking out 10 GI JOEs like that!

There's plenty of room and rocks waiting for him at Leavenworth.

After investing a rather larger than average waste of time studying this fellow, I really feel more and more that the root cause of his refusal to deploy was simple cowardice. He might not recognize it as such, because I imagine cowardice, simple primal cowardice, is an odd beast to confront and watada could very well be in denial, that wont last long once the door locks behind him.
Its not like he was drafted. He is an officer in the United States Army who refused to deploy to a combat zone.

That's freaking crazy. Based on GI Joe's technology (laser weapons etc), they must have had a massively huge budget...but they can only afford a canvas top for their APC? I don't think so, Duke obviously had a crack problem.
-
Thrawn, that's special balistic canvas. It's teh l33t.
