Meanwhile, new charges have been filed against another soldier who refused to fight in Iraq. Army prosecutors added two counts of larceny against Sgt. Kevin Benderman, who is also charged with desertion and missing movement after refusing to ship out in January. Prosecutors allege that Benderman continued to collect combat pay while he remained in the U.S. Benderman had already served in Iraq and said he could no longer participate in a war he was against.
