SAS officer refuses to fight in Iraq.

This guy isn't some wilting pansy, he's SAS, 8 years having served in Northern Ireland and Afghanistan. His main objections seem to be the overall legality of the war, "trigger happy" US troops, and the arrest and probable torture of civilians at American hands.

An SAS soldier has refused to fight in Iraq and has left the Army over the "illegal" tactics of United States troops and the policies of coalition forces.

After three months in Baghdad, Ben Griffin told his commander that he was no longer prepared to fight alongside American forces.

He said he had witnessed "dozens of illegal acts" by US troops, claiming they viewed all Iraqis as "untermenschen" - the Nazi term for races regarded as sub-human.

Just something that grabbed my notice.
