Del Val has been truly inspired by the Lieutenant's Courage to Resist, made public in August, and we'll stand by him through the Court Martial, and ALL the appeals, while Watada mobilizes Active Duty, and International opinion on the TRUE interpretation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, re: Refusal of ILLEGAL ORDERS
