children now see about eight thousand murders by the end of elementary school by two hundred thousand violent acts by the age of eighteen. movies television shows video game show. twenty four hour news channels is now. every day formulating a staple just sure in. places shakespeare's those while those who say their first think about it while it was a good year to artistic and journalistic future but most of the violence that we see is what i call. god came down from heaven and stopped.

mormon in a free what. makes the pill easier to swallow. everybody was come. but not thirty here in moscow you're watching our. top stories tonight europe's asylum policy comes under fire after last year's spike of arrests over suspected terror plots detainees links to terrorism and al qaeda triggered accusations the checks are offering extremists a safe haven it's our top story but touching the past and hoping it won't become the present moscow bunker museum offers the chance to relive

a cold war experience visitors can see what it would have been like if the russian capital of ever become the target of a nuclear attack. and celebrating break ups with a half of american marriages ending in divorce easing with the stress of becoming a prosperous business in the state. divorce parties and gifts aimed at helping the heartbroken and making a fortune from creative companies. up next the stories of soldiers and officers who chose conscience over the orders of the price they paid for that decision in the first part of a special report. noice

can you hear it. it's coming from. it's the sound of despair despair and. north and south millions of men children living in appalling conditions in extreme poverty extreme violence extreme exploitation. they're the orphans of the technological age. at the table of the rich and powerful these are their stories some are shocking. 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. i. was. i'm. i'm. i'm i'm i'm not good you have that i've got i doubt either that i did that i that i've. got i've got. that i've got how ugly. 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 on it. but corpses were floating

in the river. this is preventing crimes for being committed. i could no longer be a member of an army that was responsible for these injustices because you let it but then if you know it the kids it will. us in pretty shit. show whenever i deal becomes a nightmare. shand your good lord turns into satan to full fitness the town and day turns into night shift selfishly like that.

i. you have the obligation to refuse but when it's when you no longer believe in what you are doing that woman who 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 in this work some 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's that is one of the most frustrating things among being a soldier and you have no say.

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 then i'm risking a larger 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 because 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. i contacted lawyers my whole life changed when i wasn't free anymore i couldn't go back to college and get a job all this caused a lot of emotional turmoil in my life. within that family. as a practitioner of military law over the last twenty six years i return many people to military control and it is never easy for someone to go bad it's never easy it takes great courage for camilla to do what he is doing today because he does not know what he faces upon his return to military authorities

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 is 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 die 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 trying to my back 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 gave me many years in jail. i know that that i made the right decision and a 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 the judicial route then there is the 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 when we arrive at the front gate we don't know wirral take him there are many unknowns. i was born in nicaragua into a political family my mother worked for the government. my father. saying. 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 the israeli society. everyone else. to everything. from the. volunteer paratrooper among the best of the record to prove it. i had been accepted at the military school i felt like the proudest man on earth with my cadets uniform. at the end of the first year.

and two years later graduated 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 is 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 death of thousands of civilians the terrorist attacks that's not something you can forget. very sad when it all happened. at the time that my national guard unit would be mobilized 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. a mission

to find. bring them to justice and all of this seemed a good cause to. 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 employee i want.

to. write the book. off of the military is still a good. move it back. a good. move it back but in fact backwards.

it is. well defined mission. we stayed to add one 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 regain control of their country. they didn't want an extended occupation. the. 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 seeing. 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 to open fire if anyone threw grenades at us. 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. been 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 at him.

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. a living breathing human being. and the thing that young man by the way he 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. someone to a human body. when those bullets pierced through human flesh and you see blood and

death. you realize what. 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 that i will never forget. the first time to. tell me about it you know why.

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

i thought if i wake up the others there will be mayhem. 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. suddenly it's not an exercise anymore it's for real. before the first shot and i track to the bullet inside and hit the guy right here. i saw is face explode but if you look with but the thick illicitly shoe i just sadly time you see the second guy he had turned to look at his buddy who's had it been blown away i shot and killed him to. the third one who looked

toward me to see where the shots were coming from. with 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 see. and just stood there. looking down at the bodies. for fifteen minutes. maybe longer he's maybe fifty years. could smoke 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. i was just an empty shell game with a uniform and a gun.
