Balazs Nagy: Can you tell a few words about yourself and how you got to the situation that you are in? Victor Agosto: Ok, I am Victor Agosto, I joined the Army of the United States in August of 2005.

And now my unit is sending me to Afghanistan - or wants to send me to Afghanistan - but I have already told them that I am not going to go and that I am not going to obey any orders supporting my unit's deployment to Afghanistan. read full story / add a comment
