Lt. Ehrin Watada. An American to be proud of! Watch this speech! Please!
Please everyone. Spend 40 minutes to listen to a brave, brave patriot who has sacrificed himself and his reputation and all that he cares about for this country.

This is a speech from a few days ago.

It is as historically important and as moving as any speech I have ever heard in my life.

It DESERVES, Lt. Watada DESERVES, THIS COUNTRY and OUR TROOPS DESERVE that you take a small part of your time to listen. Please.

It should get thousands and thousands of views at least. Please.

Please keep this thread kicked. I have never begged so much in 4 years and thousands of hours on DU. Please.

1. What makes Watada's actions more powerful
is that he is labeled a coward by chickenhawks who have never served and never will. The fake patriots who wave their flags and display their magnets and swear their allegiance to a constitution they don't mind bush destroying one section at a time; those "americans" call Watada a coward. Such "americans" have never done anything positive for their country and certainly do absolutely nothing to support our troops in anyway.

3. Thanks, Boss. Hope all is getting better in your world...
Or as the Chimpicator would say, in "that part of the world"...

5. Lt. Watada spoke at our church denomination's
mid-winter council, last year and received a standing ovation, I am proud to meet him and hope for the best. Frankly, the military is doing evreything to see that he gets convicted, but even then he has won, and some of the flagwavers here know that. Bring the troops home now!

7. Does anyone know why he is representing himself
instead of having a defense lawyer do it? Wouldnt he have a better chance of winning with a professional representing him?

8. I believe he has a military lawyer.
Please watch the video. He's a hero of historical proportions.
