Kirk Kicklighter, Captain, US Marine Corps (ret.) |
As a former U.S. Marine Corps Captain and the brother and son of U.S. Marine Veterans, I want to offer my full support for Lt. Watada courageous stance. Clearly he wants to serve his country in the armed forces, just not in what is now considered an "illegal war." Lt. Watada's service obligation is toward the constitution, not toward any one person or organization. The Bush Administration started a war with Iraq under false pretenses, and has since conducted the war by illegal means - violating international laws and treaties, including the Geneva Conventions.
