エーレン・ワタダ(Ehren Watada)中尉は日系の米国人(ハワイ州出身)。

アメリカ陸軍の緊急即応部隊である「ストライカー旅団」の中尉である。イラク北部モスルへの派遣命令が出たが拒否した。中尉であるので、反戦米兵としてはおそらく最高位。父親のボブ・ワタダさんも、息子の選択を支持している。

ワタダ米陸軍中尉は記者会見の席で「イラク戦争は違法かつ反道徳的です。したがって自分は良心に基づいてイラクへの派遣命令を拒否いたします」と明言した。

1st Lt. Ehren Watada was scheduled to make his first deployment to Iraq this month. His refusal to accompany the Stryker brigade troops puts him at risk of court martial and years of prison time.

WASHINGTON - A US Army officer has refused to fight in Iraq, saying it would make him "party to war crimes".

First Lieutenant Ehren Watada's supporters - including clergy and a military family group - said he was the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse to serve in Iraq and risked being court-martialled.

The Pentagon said Watada was among a number of officers and enlisted personnel who have applied for conscientious objector status.
