She didn't want to go to Iraq. Clearly. And she paid the price for not going. But her excuse is lame.

"It is not an against-the-war argument but a people-accountability argument," Weiner says. "I was proud to say I was a Navy officer. My problem is the way they are using us as IAs. It minimizes the job and training we do for the Navy."

She's not against the war. She's offended by "how her skills are being used." If you're in the miliary, you do what they tell you to do. Thats the deal going in. If you oppose the war and pay the price, thats quite admirable. But her excuse is pretty weak. She supports the war, and was in the military, but was afraid to go Iraq. Fine. Just say so. THAT would show courage and moral backbone. Not this pathetic excuse.
