| “I refuse to deploy to Afghanistan”: Meet the Face of GI Resistance. Saturday, June 27, 7 PM Monkeywrench Books (110 E North Loop) Active duty soldier Victor Agosto has refused to fight in Afghanistan and may face court martial for his actions. Victor returned to Ft. Hood, Texas after his deployment in Iraq, and, because he had already been questioning that service, he became active with Iraq Veterans Against the War. Victor has been stop lossed in preparation for deployment to Afghanistan, and, in May, he told his unit command he would not go. He has refused to follow any order which would support the occupation of Afghanistan. If he continues to refuse orders, he almost assuredly will face court martial and likely jail time. "The only way to make them [politicians] responsive to the needs of the people is if soldiers won't fight their wars, and if soldiers won't fight their wars, the wars won't happen. I hope I'm setting an example for other soldiers," says Victor. Find out more about Victor and his decision to refuse, as well as other active duty soldiers resisting war. Victor will be joined by Cindy Thomas, manager of Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen, which has given Victor and others support. E-mail underthehoodcafe@gmail.com for more information |
