Mexican-American Army Spec. Agustin Aguayo faces a court court-martial today in Germany, accused of being a deserter because he refused to return to Iraq for a second tour of duty. The medic, a U.S. citizen who was born in Guadalajara said:

…he was not anti-war when he enlisted in 2002. But his military experiences changed his mind. He applied for conscientious objector status in February 2004 before he was sent overseas.
He served a year as a combat medic in Tikrit, Iraq, in 2004 after the military turned down his request.
He then jumped out of a window of his base housing in Germany on Sept. 2 rather than be forced to ship out for a second tour with the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment.
