Good luck with that

US Army Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, 28, went AWOL and is seeking conscientious objector status after serving in Iraq.

Commenting on some of his duties in Iraq...
"prisoners were kept awake for up to 48 hours at a time...When these techniques failed, we would bang on the wall with a huge sledgehammer ... or load a 9 mm pistol next to their ear...The way we treated these men was hard even for the soldiers, especially after realizing that many of these `combatants' were no more than shepherds."

Mejia is facing jail and a dishonorable discharge.
