Joshua Despain, 23, refused to return to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne in 2004, saying "I saw the Iraqi people as no threat and couldn't see why people were getting killed for this.” He joined Iraq Veterans Against the War and has participated in protests and educational programs. The Army quietly discharged Despain in 2005.
