Private Marc Train, age 20, left Fort Stewart, Georgia in March, 2007, rather than go to Iraq because “The reasons we’re [in Iraq] are obviously lies.” After 114 days AWOL, he returned to base and was on restriction and extra duty prior to being given a General Discharge. He has demonstrated with Iraq Veterans Against the War, has spoken against military recruiting in high schools, and blogs on the IVAW site.
