Court Martialed RAF doctor compares America to Nazis.

The RAF doctor Malcolm Kendall-Smith has been sentenced to eight months in jail.

Following the sentencing Kendall-Smith's solicitor read a statement on behalf of the doctor, saying: "Now, more than ever, I feel my actions were totally justified. I would not seek to do anything differently. To take the decision I did caused me great sadness but I felt I had no other choice. I still have a very long way yet to travel and more work yet to do."

He told a pre-trial hearing last month that he refused to go to Iraq because he believed the war was illegal.

Kendall-Smith told the military hearing that he refused to serve in Basra, Iraq, last July because he did not want to be complicit with an "act of aggression" contrary to international law.

He said: "I have evidence that the Americans were on a par with Nazi Germany with its actions in the Persian Gulf. I have documents in my possession which support my assertions.

"This is on the basis that on-going acts of aggression in Iraq and systematically applied war crimes provide a moral equivalent between the US and Nazi Germany."

This is why I am not in the military. They would never get my ass to Iraq either.

I can't find much to disagree with in the above statements by Kendall-Smith. I do however wish that people would stop comparing us to the Nazis. I think that as bad as we have become we are still no where near the evil that was Nazi Germany.
