I saw an interview between Amy Goodman and Sergeant Ricky Clousing on DemocracyNow.org: He was an Army interrogator in Iraq and a year ago went AWOL .
On one hand I salute him for the strength of character that allowed him to follow his conscience. On the other hand I can see how the army of democratic nation which has freedom of speech can be weakened by those uncomfortable moral questions. The successful army has to have total dedication and iron discipline. None of this is likely to be present in the unjust war. Lest just hope that our troops will not be weak when the enemy will land on our soil and just war must be waged.
