DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR WITH THE BRITISH ARMY. A GENERAL OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS ARMY, BENEDICT ARNOLD, DECIDED HE WASN'T BEING TREATED RIGHT BY HIS SUPERIORS. HE APPLIED FOR THE POSITION OF GENERAL OF WEST POINT. A FORT HIGH ON THE BLUFFS OVER LOOKING THE HUDSON RIVER WHICH WAS A COLONIAL STRONG POSITION. HE INTENDED TO SURRENDER THIS VALUABLE DEFENSIVE POSITION TO THE BRITISH. FORTUNATELY THIS NEVER HAPPENED SO HE DESERTED AND WENT TO ENGLAND TO JOIN THEIR ARMY. THUS HE WAS THE FIRST AMERICAN MILITARY OFFICER WHO BECAME A TRAITOR .XXX
ALTHOUGH 1ST LT. EHREN WATADA HAS NOT DEFECTED TO THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS. HIS PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT THAT HE WILL REFUSE TO REPORT FOR DUTY WHEN HIS UNIT IS SHIPPED TO IRAQ IS IN MY OPINION AN ACT OF BETRAYAL. HE IS NOT ONLY BETRAYING HIS OATH TAKEN WHEN HE WAS COMMISSIONED AS AN ARMY OFFICER. WHICH INCLUDES IN THE OATH THESE WORDS "I WILL OBEY THE ORDERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE ORDERS OF THE OFFICERS APPOINTED OVER ME"----. HE IS BETRAYING ALL THE MEN WHO HAVE FOLLOWED ORDERS AND WERE WOUNDED OR KILLED IN ACTION CARRYING OUT THEIR ORDERS.
XXX
IT IS ONE THING TO BE A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR. THERE WERE 87 SUCH EXEMPTIONS GRANTED DISCHARGE AS OF THE END OF 2005. BUT TO SAY YOU REFUSE TO FOLLOW ORDERS BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT, HIS COMMANDER IN CHIEF, IS WAGING AN ILLEGAL WAR SOUNDS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE THIS PERSON (CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO CALL HIM A MAN) MAY HAVE ENTERED THE ARMY A "SLEEPER" ANTI-WAR PEACE GROUP WANNABE! HOW MANY DEDICATED TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN LYING IN WAIT FOR YEARS WE MAY NEVER KNOW UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. WHY NOT A "PEACENICK" WHO JOINS THE ARMY, GOES TO OCS JUST SO HE CAN MAKE HIS ANTI-WAR STATEMENT? THE LARGE NUMBER OF LEFTIST GROUPS, COLUMNISTS AND BLOGGERS WHO HAVE JUMPED TO HIS DEFENSE MAKES ME WONDER IF THIS WAS A LONG AGO PLANNED PERFIDY.
XXX
WATADA HAS TAKEN THE BENEFITS AND PAY OF HIS COMMISSION FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. NOW WHEN HIS SERVICE COMMITMENT IS DUE TO EXPIRE IN 7 OR 8 MONTHS WHY DID HE SUDDENLY DECIDE TO REFUSE A LAWFUL ORDER? HE SAYS THE BOOK BY LIBERAL WRITER JAMES BAMFORD, "PRETEXT FOR WAR" HELPED HIM MAKE HIS DECISION. BAMFORD A WELL KNOWN AUTHOR OF LIBERAL/LEFTIST BOOKS IS A VISITING PROFESSOR AT U.C. BERKLEY. WATADA MIGHT AS WELL HAVE PICKED A BOOK ABOUT AMERICAN WARS FROM A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MOSCOW. HE WOULD GET THE SAME SLANT!
XXX
LET HIM NOT SHOW UP FOR HIS UNIT DEPLOYMENT! HE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH DERELICTION OF DUTY, CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER AND POSSIBLY DESERTION. EITHER WAY THE VALIANT TROOPS FIGHTING IN IRAQ DON'T NEED A GUTLESS 90 DAY WONDER LEADING THEM INTO BATTLE!
SHAME ON YOU MR. WANADA!
