An embarassment only a father could love
Congratulations, LT Ehren Watada, on doing your damnedest to damage a company's, battalion's, and brigade's mental focus as they prepare to enter a combat zone.
Somewhere in Washington there is a company commander who is wondering why God is punishing him with such an irresponsible subordinate, there is a platoon wondering why their commissioned leader is such an embarassment, and there is a 28 year old LT who's understanding of UCMJ, the United States Constitution, and the general concept of international law is obviously lacking.

It is probably good to find out now the LT's aversion to war. There are a lot of names on the Vietnam Memorial that would not be there if their commissioned officers would have been committed to the mission.
Once the decision is made to go to war or to take military action that decision requires a whole lot of "checks and balances" by civilian and military leaders. The leadership, and I mean all leadership, owes it to the men and women on the front lines nothing less than a full committment to the mission. When the order is given to lock and load everyone involved had better understand what is at stake.
