Ehren Watada (Violet)

If any of you guys are looking for an event to go to next week, this may be a good one. Ehren Watada's mother is coming to UIC to speak about her son's upcoming court marshall. For those of you who do not know, Watada is the Army's first officer to refuse to go to Iraq, because he believes the war to be illegal, and that his particiapation would constitute a war crime. He was willing to deploy to Afghanistan, but instead he faces court marshall on feb. 5th. He faces charges of missing movement, and of conduct unbecoming an officer.
