Joshua Casteel

Joshua Casteel (27 December 1979 – 25 August 2012) was a United States Army soldier, conscientious objector, playwright, and divinity student. He volunteered for the army in 2002 and conducted interrogations in Abu Ghraib prison.

In 2005 he received an honorable discharge as a conscientious objector. He was active in the anti-war movement before dying of lung cancer in 2012. His cancer can be attributed to the inhalation of many toxic fumes from the burn pits he guarded and slept by while he served in the Iraqi war. Provided by Wikipedia
