As I have said all along, Watada is a coward. His parents are both war protesters, leading me to believe his 'enlistment' was an extension of their protests, designed for the notoriety it is receiving.

Whether he's a coward or not, I wouldn't know. However I do think the whole thing is a set up, he joined so that he could refuse to go, get the publicity for the militant pacifist left and so forth. In this case the rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Instant replay - he's convicted. President Clinton grants amnesty and upgraded discharges for all those in his category. He's elected to Congress.
