Victor Paredes is the brother of Pablo Paredes, a Navy enlisted sailor who refused to deploy with his Iraq-bound troop ship in December 2004 because of his opposition to the war. Victor has been touring the country speaking for his brother, who recently faced court martial for his act of resistance. In a major, unprecedented victory, the Navy judge refused to send Pablo Paredes to jail, finding instead that any service member has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal.
