US soldier refuses deployment to Iraq on grounds that the war is illegal

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

Iraq was not the USA's enemies, Saddam even said he didn't want a war with the USA. Going to Iraq wouldn't be upholding anything other than fraudulent lies by the US government and possibly crusading for Oil.

I find it very interesting how many posters in this thread completely ignore the fact that he was lured to sign-up to the army based on fraud by the government. That gets sweeped under the rug as if it doesn't exists because it is an inconvenient fact.

Also the UN said that USA can't invade Iraq, but USA did anyhow. Another inconvenient fact that keeps getting swept under the rug.

Oh for God's sake. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. "He was lured by lies of the government". That makes no damned sense. My uncle, in Iraq, signed up because he knew he had the probability of going to Iraq, he accepted it. This little sissy is just scared to go to war, and shouldn't have signed up in the first place. It's called freedom of choice, in America, which means no one is forcing you to do anything, or think like they do. That's Fasicm.

Again, this is neglecting that he was induced to making a choice based on fraudulent information, therefore he cannot be reasonably "held" to a choice like that.

Evidence? Is there any evidence a government worker came up to the guy and said "hey, join the army, just do it, you'll get candy"
