REFUSING TO
KILL
Refusiniks from around the world speak
out
Produced by Payday, a network of men working with the Global
Women's strike
"I'd rather go to prison for desertion than
kill a child by mistake",
Sgt Camilo Meja, US army. Sentenced to a year
in prison for refusing to return to
Iraq.
Refuseniks and their families, supporters and other anti-war
protesters around the world, from the Second World War, wars in Africa,
Vietnam, Palestine and the two Gulf wars tell their
stories.
Only 2% of soldiers shoot to kill. So the military needs to
brainwash the 98% who don't. Everywhere people are drafted into the military by
law or poverty. Those who refuse to kill are punished, jailed, sometimes
killed. In spite of that, there is a growing movement of refuseniks supported
by their loved ones usually women.
