But Evan Knaus is no ordinary soldier. In 2004, he walked away from the war in Iraq. He left his unit and his country behind, and he traveled to Canada, where he sought asylum. He was granted refugee status, and he has lived in Canada ever since.

Evan Knaus's story is a complex one. It is a story of courage and conviction, but it is also a story of trauma and loss. Evan Knaus is a man who has seen the worst of humanity, and he has survived to tell his story.

Evan Knaus's story is important because it challenges the way we think about war. We often think of war as a necessary evil, but Evan Knaus's story shows us that war is never necessary. War is always a choice, and it is a choice that should never be made lightly.

Evan Knaus's story is also important because it shows us the power of one person to make a difference. Evan Knaus stood up for what he believed in, even though it meant risking his life. He walked away from the war in Iraq, and he helped to change the way the world thinks about war.

Evan Knaus is an ordinary soldier who did an extraordinary thing. He walked away from the war in Iraq, and he helped to change the world.

The War in Iraq

The war in Iraq began in 2003, when a coalition of forces led by the United States invaded Iraq. The stated goal of the invasion was to remove Saddam Hussein from power and to prevent him from using weapons of mass destruction. However, no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq.

The war in Iraq was a long and bloody conflict. It lasted for eight years, and it claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. The war also had a devastating impact on the United States. It cost the U.S. trillions of dollars, and it led to the deaths of thousands of American soldiers.

The war in Iraq was a mistake. It was based on false information, and it caused enormous suffering. Evan Knaus's story is a reminder of the human cost of war.

Evan Knaus's Decision to Walk Away

Evan Knaus decided to walk away from the war in Iraq because he could no longer stomach the violence. He had seen too much death and destruction. He had seen too many innocent people killed.

Evan Knaus knew that walking away from the war would be a difficult decision. He knew that he would be leaving his unit and his country behind. He knew that he would be putting his own life at risk.

But Evan Knaus also knew that he could not continue to fight in a war that he believed was wrong. He could not continue to kill people who had done nothing to him.

Evan Knaus made the difficult decision to walk away from the war in Iraq, and he has never regretted it.

Evan Knaus's Life in Canada

Evan Knaus has lived in Canada since 2004. He is married to a Canadian woman, and they have two children. Evan Knaus works as a counselor, and he helps other veterans who are struggling to adjust to life after war.

Evan Knaus has found peace and happiness in Canada. He is grateful for the opportunity to live in a country where he can speak his mind and where he can live without fear.

Evan Knaus is an ordinary soldier who did an extraordinary thing. He walked away from the war in Iraq, and he helped to change the world.
