We'll need action from Pres. Obama on War Resisters

[bigtree]

How about issuing a moratorium on court-martials for the resisters to the military action in Iraq which he based most of his campaign on opposing?

[Captain Hilts]

1. No.

[bigtree]

2. generals get to opt out

why not servicemen?

3. great idea--let him show that "change" is more than a campaign slogan (nt)

[stillcool]

4. Yeah right...

he's going to rush in a black knight in shining armor, and slay all the dragons while we still back and enjoy the show, or throw tomatoes at the screen.

5. Yes

And... he should issue Camilo Mejía the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he deserves it more than Bremer/Tenet/Franks did.

[gratuitous]

6. Medals of Honor

Low-level folks who refused to take part in or continue to support an illegal invasion should get the highest honor the country can bestow upon them. And then the officers who carried out those illegal orders when they knew better -- or should have known better -- can spend a few days explaining their crimes to the nation. Then be dishonorably discharged and deprived of rank, pay, and pension.
