The US Army, admitting defeat in its more than three-year effort to punish First Lt. Ehren Watada for refusing to deploy to Iraq, is allowing the Hawaiian-born soldier to resign from the military on October 2.

An Army spokesman said regulations allowed for “resignation for the good of the service in lieu of general court-martial.”
