At a time when many veterans, and many troops on active duty are asking themselves, "What has happened to our military?", the court-martial of SPC Michael New in 1996 becomes as relevant today as it was then. New was the first American every court-martialed for wanting to serve his own country exclusively, winding up what he thought would be a life career with a Bad Conduct Discharge, for refusing to serve under the authority of a foreign entity, the United Nations. Today American troops are serving under a foreign power in Iraq, Afghanistan, and over 100 other countries. 

Every recruit takes an Oath of Allegiance - not the the United Nations, not to some temporary multi-national expeditionary force, not even to the President of the US - but to the U.S. Constitution. Is that oath now meaningless?

The bottom line is this: If American troops can be forced to serve a foreign power, then we are not a free country.

If we are not a free country, then why enlist, why fight, why bleed and why die for an agenda and interests that are not necessarily our own? Because we just follow orders? That defense was rejected at Nuremberg. 

This book is still timely - and predicted that this breakdown would come. MICHAEL NEW - Mercenary... or American Soldier should be read by every man and woman in uniform, and all those contemplating enlisting.
