I’d say this guy is screwing himself, unless he wants to be the hero of some Kafkaesque novel, sitting at a desk in some obscure military office, doing useless work for the rest of his life.
“Watada’s term of service in the military ended December 2006, but the legal proceedings have prevented his discharge.”
He’d probably have been better off firing his lawyer, coming to some sort of arrangement, leaving the military, and starting his life over again.
Frankly, it serves him right. Only it’s a pity that the taxpayers are paying for all this nonsense.
I can’t help but believe this was planned by him from the beginning, his father was a Vietnam war protester and evaded the draft by joining the Peace Corps.
