GREEN BAY, Wis. — An Army spokesman says the Wisconsin reservist who staged a one-month protest of the Iraq war will be disciplined when he rejoins his unit.

Army Lt. Col. Nathan Banks said Tuesday that the commanding officer will decide on the nature of the discipline.

Army Spc. Kristoffer Walker of Green Bay had come home on a two-week leave last month. He refused to go back, saying the war is illegal and immoral.

The 28-year-old changed his mind after the Army threatened repercussions. He says he realized the military has the power to ruin his life.

Walker is scheduled to fly out Wednesday for the unit’s remaining four months overseas.
