Confessions of a War Resister - Matthis Chiroux

Matthis Chiroux and the entire war resistance won a great victory on April 20, 2009. Matthis, who refused deployment on the grounds that, among many other things, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are illegal and violate international law, was awarded a general discharge for his refusal to activate as a member of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Matthis stood up to the monster and won. It's a sign of hope in a crazy system.

Read Matthis' complete confession here. It is rather long but I highly recommend you read the entire article. The honesty is moving and unique.
