Seems like more and more military personal are standing up against U.S aggression in Iraq,RAF Flight Lt. Malcolm Kendall-Smith,who said "U.S. actions in Iraq were on par with those of Nazi Germany".(what i've said all along).

He challenged the legality of the war in Iraq, and he was sentenced to eight months in prison and dismissed from the service...I salute his courage and bravery for speaking out!

Flight Lt. Malcolm Kendall-Smith has also said that "I have evidence that the Americans were on a par with Nazi Germany with its actions in the Persian Gulf,".

He's been punished for speaking the TRUTH and standing up for what he and many of us know is right.

The Pentagon says more than 5,500 servicemen have deserted since the war started in Iraq.

Un beleivable, what happened to freedom of speach, and also things like this just add to the problems that the governments already face with the situation.

And how can anybody justify this imprisonment.

Well i guess in the military no ones views count. We have freedom of speech, but for the people fighting for the country, there views are hidden from us.

It can't be justified.

Im sure the government are clever enough to state to the forces that they have no right to say these sort of things etc etc of they are in a lot of trouble.

But at least some of them stand up for what they really beleive.

nobody reads broadsheets???
if you read the guardian, there was a special report on us serviceman...over 500 have fled to canada, seeking asylum to avoid going on duty back to iraq, when many were asked why, 1 'soldier' said he saw many many acts that were illegal, gruesome and inhumane, he could not go back there for a day...
today democracy seems to mean hypocrisy in the west...its sad
