PETITION IN SUPPORT OF SPC. VICTOR AGOSTO

Victor and two supporters at UnderTheHoodCafe near Ft. Hood, Texas

Victor's story of G.I. resistance by Dahr Jamail.

We whose names and signatures appear below support Army Specialist Victor Agosto's principled stance against the unjust war against the citizens of Afghanistan.

SPC Agosto, assigned to C Company, 57th ESB, at Fort Hood, Texas, is now facing court-martial for standing up for his beliefs. On April 30, he informed his company commander that he would not deploy to Afghanistan.  Since May 11, he has refused all orders directly supporting his unit’s deployment. We, the undersigned, demand that the commanding general of Fort Hood, TX, and the convening authority for his court-martial drop all charges against SPC Victor Agosto.

2070	October 26, 2009	Ahmad najeeb	San Antonio , TX	I will sign the petition because I know that it will do no good. You are subject to UCMJ. But I am curious as to why you wont go. Honestly. I am from Afghanistan. I am a US citizen. I am in the National Guard. I have family that has directly benefited from the international effort in Afghanistan. Is it cuz of the whole imperialistic corporate machine thing cuz thatconfuses me...then why did you join in a time of conflict??? If you just think its BS that us blood is being spilled because of a struggle in a country across the world and that rubs you the wrong way I can respect that but ... i dont know... I really would like to know.
