A Colorado-based soldier in Iraq may face a prison sentence for complaining to his superior after he witnessed the mangled body of an Iraqi man. The soldier, Sgt. Georg Porgany, told his superior that he was heading toward a nervous breakdown after what he witnessed. When Porgany asked for help one of his superiors told him to “get his head out of his ass and get with the program.” The military has now responded by charging the man with “cowardice” and for refusing to perform his duties. If Porgany is convicted in a court martial he could face a prison term and a dishonorable discharge.
