Ehren Watada's court-martial started today. He is the first (and only) commissioned officer to refuse to deploy to Iraq because he says that the war in Iraq is illegal. He requested a transfer to Afghanistan, but was denied, and he subsequently requested resignation, which was also denied, and he was charged with failure to deploy, and conduct unbecoming an officer (for going public).
Plus, he's from Hawaii.
