Thank you Lt. Ehren Watada for standing up for international, US and military law by refusing to deploy to Iraq in support of the ongoing illegal war and occupation.
On Wednesday, June 7th
U.S. Army First Lieutenant Ehren Watada became the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse deployment to the unlawful Iraq war and occupation. His unit is scheduled to deploy to Iraq in a few days, and the military is moving
to try and silence Lt. Watada from continuing to speak out. Your support is urgently needed today.
Statement of Lt. Ehren Watada
(June 7, 2006)
- Family, Friends, Members of the Religious Community, Members of the Press, and my fellow Americans-thank you for coming today.
My name is Ehren Watada. I am a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and I have served for 3 years.
It is my duty as a commissioned officer of the United States Army to speak out against grave injustices. My moral and legal obligation is to the Constitution and not those who would issue unlawful orders. I stand before you today because
it is my job to serve and protect those soldiers, the American people, and innocent Iraqis with no voice.
