noice can you hear it. it's coming from the earth it's the sound of despair despair and. noise south millions of men women and children living in appalling conditions in extreme poverty extreme violence extreme exploitation. orphans of the technological age pariahs at the table of the rich and powerful. their stories some are shocking others. but in their own right. extreme. as extreme as the compulsion for soldiers to disobey orders against their

convictions and values. this is the story of three soldiers in three countries and three areas each was compelled to break his pledge of allegiance. was. i know i know i'm not good at i do such i doubt either that i did that i that i've. got that. that i brought my buddy. in the army we were supposed to submit willingly to our superiors order to make the

i observe their rule my entire life until that infamous september eleventh is see i knew that blood was being spilled in the streets and. that courses were floating in the river. if it. rhymes for being committed. i could no longer be a member of an army that was responsible for these injustices sickles you can let it but then if you know it the kids it will get. it this is the fishies. show whenever i deal becomes a nightmare. shut your good lord turns into satan to full fitness

a ton and the day turns into night shift selfishly like that. i. you have the obligation to refuse to leave but when it's when you no longer believe in what you are doing womanhood and you can no longer stand up for your actions you must refuse. if you don't have a good reason to go to war. if you don't have a purpose if you don't feel that you're doing something noble.

if you don't believe deep within yourself that you fighting for freedom if you don't believe deep within yourself that you're fighting for democracy. if you don't believe that you're fighting. to make the world a safer place and you're left without a purpose you're nothing but my mercenary. and that's why i'm sad not to go back to my unit in iraq because i completely disagree i think this works the more on criminal and i don't want to be a part of it. but

. when you're a soldier. basically what makes you a soldier in legal terms is the fact that you sign a contract one month once you steve sign a contract. you are. supposed to do everything they tell you to do you're supposed to follow orders.

when there is a war. and they give you your give me your orders. it's very hard to see a human being to accept that because you're not really taking part of in the process of. deciding whether or not war is legal or it's illegal or if it's moral or immoral. but such believe such moral view. has absolutely nothing to do with what you have to do as a soldier you have to follow your orders. and that is one of the most frustrating things among being

a soldier and that you have no say. at the new academy when after fifteen days in the states i was supposed to go back to iraq. better nor would better the decision not to report to you know military commander. was not easy to make it was very hard and the i'm risking a longer starting with my freedom i'm exposing myself to humiliation. i mean risking my immigrant status in this country that's huge because i have

a daughter who lives here. in. all of this has turned my life upside down for example i had to leave my home i stopped using my credit cards and my cell phone on me but i couldn't see my daughter for fear of being arrested that i had to live with friends or relatives that i contacted lawyers my whole life changed when i wasn't free anymore i couldn't go back to college or get a job all this caused a lot of emotional turmoil in my life. within and. as a practitioner of military law over the last twenty six years i've returned many people to military control and it is never easy for someone to go back it's never easy it takes great courage for camillo to do what he is doing today because he does not

know what he faces upon his return to military authority thank you thank. god. thank you thank you thank you thank you. i did not prepare a statement because what i have to say i have to say from the heart and it's a very simple message and a message and it simply says that i'm saying no to war. we're dying there iraqis are being killed every day and then here people are you know reading us about janet jackson's breast or the super bowl or whatever when there is a war going on right now and there are people dying and people lose perspective very easily and hurts me deep inside because i'm a soldier and i saw the suffering firsthand and i'm making this stand right here not as. to prove that i'm right or anything like that but because of the soldiers

in iraq who disagree with this war but don't have the strength to come forward so i'm doing it for them i'm not turning my back on my comrades i have this i'm not going to be a part of that war but i'm going back to the military today i have really no idea what's going to happen but whatever happens if they try to say that i'm a criminal and they give me many years in jail. i know that that i made the right decision in the god has forgiven me already thank you. the military now once he returns to military control has the discretion to decide what to do with him they can choose the administrative route that is processing his claim for conscientious objection or they could choose a judicial route to resolve this matter if they were to choose to judicial route then there is that strong possibility that he would face trial by court martial.

after this press conference what we intend to do is to take a bus and we intend to travel about thirty minutes from here to hanscom air force base while we arrive at the front gate we don't know wirral take him there are many unknowns. i was born in nicaragua into a politically active family my mother worked for the government. my father. who sang in revolution. when i was eighteen years old. i had no ties anywhere and that i knew when i saw them i felt like a stranger everywhere i went. so when i came here

to this country. i figured i should try to fit into north american society. the heart of this country. for me was a way of becoming a member of a fraternity. other country i already had clearly defined political views. anyone who comes to another country. especially in this country which is the jewish homeland supposed to be

a place for everyone. to be a part of israeli society. everyone else. has . to everything. and. that's how i became a volunteer paratrooper among the best. i had been accepted at the military school i felt like the proudest man on earth.

at the end of the first year. two years later graduating from the. well the rank of artillery officer. i was successful as a soldier i did my job and i was promoted i received several medals. and marks of recognition things were going very well. in the military i was proud to be an infantry soldier because the infantry supposed to be the toughest job in the army the most dangerous job. but. i find those deeply moving but while we're still a child. as i listen to the military and watch the troops march by i mean i relive some of the happiest moments in my life. when i was an officer of the army

the army prior to september eleventh. the deaths of thousands of people civilians the terrorist attacks that's not something you can forget. very sad when it all happened. time that my national guard unit. and we would be sent into the field to fight or to carry out a real mission. there had been so many victims it seems to me that if the situation was handled properly if there was

a thorough investigation identify the people responsible for the attacks then a mission to find. bring them to justice and all of this a good cause to. you know at the time i still thought that being in the army and serving you know. could be done for valid reasons and could produce good results you know the i want.

to be like the voted. off on a military installation good bad or good. move it back it was a good. move it back but in fact backwards. to. back. it. up and.

get it. at first we didn't have a well defined mission and. we stayed to add more baghdad international airport for four or five days. then we went to an iraqi air force base occupied by the u.s. army. and. we

started talking to people and they told us they approved of the invasion. and they were happy to be free from the oppression of saddam hussein but at the same time they wanted to regained back control of their country. they didn't want an extended occupation. first real confrontation happened at the town hall and. that's where we had our first combat experience and there was a demonstration in support of that and against george bush. on. one of the. first there was no violence the demonstrators were shouting their slogans nothing more than seen. after forty five minutes of protest. they started throwing grenades and it all

became very violent. and the my unit was ordered to take defensive positions on the roof of the town hall. we were told. through. the. one point silence of complete silence all of the demonstrators about two hundred people started moving from one place to the other. one corner we saw a young man coming towards us he was holding something in his hand. through the telescope. specifically ordered to shoot to kill if anyone threw something that young man was holding something and he threw it at us. it was a grenade and we all fired.

he. was the first time in my life the target wasn't made of plastic. it wasn't a picture it was a human being. human being. nothing that young man by the way couldn't possibly reach us because he was much too far. and. the. i shot him too and he was killed by our bullets he started bleeding demonstrators through his own blood. for the first time i saw what bullets from a rifle from. to

a human body. when those bullets pierced through human flesh and you see blood and death. and you realize what really goes on in. my. training was for. i had never seen firsthand a human being killed by bullets and it was really hard for me that it's something i haven't been able to forget and i will never forget. remember the first time will. tell me about it you know. why.

it was shot three. or four in the morning three. there were five of us of them lying in ambush. flat on the ground. one of us was always keeping watch. because we would switch every fifteen minutes. all of a sudden i heard the sound of gravel rolling down. the from the van i saw three fighters climbing towards us. whether it was very quietly very slowly only.

i thought if i wake up the others there will be me. to shoot or not to shoot to be or not to be. i had no other choice but to open fire. i only had two seconds to shoot three men. with among suddenly it's not an exercise anymore it's for real. and i track to the bullet inside and hit the guy right here. i saw his face explode. with but the thick illicitly shoe i just sadly time to see the second guy he had turned to look at his buddy who's had been

blown away i shot and killed him too. the third one looked toward me to see where the shots were coming from. with the less that he saw me and he raised his collision a cough but it only took me half a second to shoot him down. have come i got up and went over to the scene. and just stood there. looking down at the bodies. for fifteen minutes. maybe longer he's maybe fifty years. could most move all of the ideals i had when i was eighteen or nineteen. all of the good things the beautiful things my dreams. they all started falling apart.
