War Resister Camilo Mejia Elected to Chair Iraq Veterans Against the War, Group Encouraging War Resistance

Members of Iraq Veterans Against the War voted this weekend to launch a campaign encouraging US troops to engage in war resistance. To underscore the point, the group elected Sergeant Camilo Mejia to chair of its board of directors. Mejia is the first US combat veteran to publicly refuse to redeploy to Iraq. He is author of a new book about his experience, “The Road from ar Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Camilo Mejia.” [includes rush transcript]
