Ehren Watada, Moonbat Hero
Moonbats have heroes like everyone else. But whereas as a normal person's hero would be characterized by courage, sacrifice, devotion, and honor, a moonbat's hero displays the traits of cowardice, selfishness, irresponsibility, and ignominiousness. No one has done a better job of personifying these vaunted characteristics than the Left's latest champion, Ehren Watada.
Watada volunteered for the Army after the invasion of Iraq and willingly completed officer training. But when it came time for him to be deployed from Fort Lewis, he decided that the war didn't suit his political views, and refused to go. After all, preventing terrorists from forcibly taking control of a fledgling democracy is unjust and illegal. Besides, a guy can get hurt over there.
Needless to say, no Army can function when its soldiers consider deployment orders to be optional. This is why Watada is such a darling to the Michael Moore set that they declared today to be a National Day of Action in his honor. Moonbats have been publicly celebrating Watada's disgraceful behavior all across the country, with events planned for a long list of cities by the cult Courage to Resist. Here's how they describe themselves:
COURAGE TO RESIST is a group of concerned community members, veterans and military families that supports military objectors to illegal war and occupation and the policies of empire. Our People Power strategy weakens the pillars that maintain war and occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere by supporting GI resistance, counter-recruitment and draft resistance, which cuts off the supply of troops.
Note that they not only side with al Qaeda and Baathists against the democratic government we are supporting in Iraq, but also with the Taliban, which they apparently would like to see back in power in Afghanistan. Their objective — to weaken our military by attacking morale and impeding recruitment — couldn't be more clear.
Here's hoping Watada is less comfortable in Leavenworth than his terrorist compatriots have been at Club Gitmo. Check out Hot Air to see Michelle Malkin give him a small taste of what he has coming to him.

This goofball probably signed up for the military with the express purpose of pulling a stunt like this; especially since he signed up after the Iraq conflict began. I guess not enough real soldiers were doing so they had to start creating their own defectors.

Draft resistance? Does the military have a draft now? Or are they complaining about the NBA draft?
