Chief Warrant Officer Adisa "A.J." Aiyetoro, a 19-year veteran who is stricken with active tuberculosis and unable to wear body armor because of back injuries, according to medical and court records, refused to go. "I'm not getting on that plane," he says. His court-martial on charges of disobeying an order and missing a deployment is scheduled for Monday.

    • And this is the reason why no one is for the war anymore, other than those total warmongerers and die hard republicans who want the whole world to bown down to the "all powerful" united staes. We used to be such a respected country too. Now we are all stereotyped as over patriotic militant morons who will go fight a war and then do nothing but talk about celebrities to cover up the fact that the leaders and those in charge of this once great civilization have made a grave mistake. Maybe when China takes us over we will realize what we have failed to defend.
