Reservist Tries To Stop 5th Deployment
Enough is enough. The policy of this administration is fight until you die or get your legs blown off. To resist an insane policy is patriotic; the same way German soldiers resisted the madness of Adolf Hitler. To follow a leader blindly into battle is not doing your duty. Being an American means questioning your government when they are wrong. George Bush is wrong:
Army Reserve Sgt. Erik Botta has been sent to Iraq three times and to Afghanistan once. He thinks that's enough.
Botta wants a court to block the military's plan to deploy him for a fifth time Sunday, most likely to Iraq. He isn't against the war _ but he thinks he can serve his country better now by working for a defense contractor and pursuing his education.
