Soldier Hoped to Do Good But Was Chaged By War
Check out this article in the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/13/us/13awol.htm
A born-again Christian from Washington who claims to have gone to Iraq to serve his country and God and began to doubt if he was serving either.
From the article:
He said he saw American soldiers shoot and kill an unarmed Iraqi teenager, and rode in an Army Humvee that sideswiped Iraqi cars and shot an old man’s sheep for fun — both incidents Sergeant Clousing reported to superiors. He said his work as an interrogator led him to conclude that the occupation was creating a cycle of anti-American resentment and violence. After months of soul-searching on his return to Fort Bragg, Sergeant Clousing, 24, failed to report for duty one day.
