Army Officer Refuses Orders

I guess “Duty, Honor, Country” means nothing to 1Lt. Watada. He’s a soldier - government issue - and he gave up his right to pick and choose his battles a long time ago.

I’m sure that in some warped way, LT Watada believes he is remaining true to his own version of honor, which apparently supercedes the oath he took when commissioned. That’s not honorable in my book. There’s no doubt that he has forgotten the meaning of Duty, and he’s certainly an embarrassment to his Country. Well, at least the part that is red.
