The first Army officer to refuse deployment to Iraq is preparing to leave the military later this week. According to his attorney, First Lieutenant Ehren Watada will be discharged Friday “under other-than-honorable conditions.” Watada’s first court-martial ended in a mistrial two years ago. The government dropped its attempt to retry him after a federal judge ruled it would violate constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
