Re: Iraq War Called Illegal by Hawai‘i Army Lieutenant
Just for the record, there were protests right here on O‘ahu. Didn’t want that point, however trivial, to be overlooked.
Lieutenant Garners National Support
A Hawaii man was the focus of rallies in 33 cities across the nation today. All were in support of Lt. Ehren Watada, the soldier who refused to deploy to Iraq with his Washington-based unit.
About 25 to 30 supporters rallied outside Fort Shafter at four this afternoon. They believe the war is wrong and that Watada has the right to refuse to fight, although he joined the Army voluntarily.
