Why I Refused a 2nd Deployment to Iraq - By: Sgt. Kevin Benderman

[Indie Media Magazine]

First a brief forward from POAC co-editor Jack Dalton. I received an email a few moments ago from Kevin’s wife Monica. In it she has told me a total of 22 people in Sgt Benderman’s unit have refused to deploy to Iraq. 17 have gone AWOL and 2 have attempted suicide. The status of the remaining 3 is unknown at this time. We at the POAC fully support the decision to refuse deployment to Iraq which has been made by Sgt Benderman, and the others in his unit.

I am Sgt Kevin Benderman and:

These are the chronological events that led me to conclude that I had no other choice than to refuse the deployment order to Iraq.

2. That is a very powerful indictment of our present policy. If you

remember, Europe wants to settle disputes without war through diplomacy now. They are tired of war after two world wars in two generations. Yhey have evolved to a higher status than the BEEF. Yet all Americans led by the moron could do was villify them. Yet the money that the US has spent on this massive destruction of an innocent people could have stopped AIDS, conquered malaria and many etcs. Millions of children could have been saved. Their mothers taught to protect themselves and to cease sex without contraceptives, etc. etc. At this point in our history we are the lead rung in the axis of evil.

3. Another reason why my only news source is the internet!.

Do you think this will ever see the light of day on faux news? Does anyone have a connection with someone at sixty minutes? that is the only forum where this would possibly be aired.
