#1 Eli is obviously a f*ck-stick & a coward. All he need do is read the 1991 cease fire agreement that Hussein signed to realize we are fully justified in occupying Iraq.

#2 No, he didn't put himself at "great personal risk", he put his comrades at risk. If he didn't suggest to another soldier to join him, then it shows he was never that serious about his "beliefs", just someone else who wants their 5 minutes.
Go ahead, Eli, go for the mutiny, then you'll get 15 minutes, CHICKENSH*T

#3 If you read his journal you will discover that his decision is POLITCAL and not a spiritual one. I hope they build a big set of gallows and hang this traitor from them.

#4 Now we need a trial so Eli's defense can produce proof that Eli is correct OR, that Eli was misled by a treasonous media and subsequent trials for media participants. Words are cheap, where's the proof that this war is illegal, and unjustified ?

#6 A good ambusher will usually let the point fella by and concentrate on what's behind him. No, this guy needs to carry a radio (working or not).

#7 "No, this guy needs to carry a radio (working or not)."

#8 Eli is stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad with JVB Bravo Company, 1-149 Infantry of the Kentucky Army National Guard

"I have been in Iraq for over a year. I have served in combat. I have been awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, for my actions in Combat. I have been recommended for other medals, that I will now probably never see (nor do I want)....

"It would have been a lot "easier" for me to simply keep doing combat missions for a couple more weeks, and be done with things. Moral convictions are not based on timing or convenience, and I thank all of you for your being here for me now."

Very queer. After over a year in combat in Iraq, a few weeks short of rotating home, now he suddenly decides this won't do? I wonder if he suddenly got a Dear John letter or something...
