A Colorado soldier faces a court-martial March 1 on charges that he ordered Iraqi officers to kill Iraqi civilians.

Capt. Carl Bjork of Evergreen, Colo., is charged with one count of reckless endangerment and two counts of premeditated murder.

Prosecutors say the incident happened in December 2006.

Bjork’s father, Peter, said he was upset that it took more than three years for the case to reach this point.

“I see it as a slap in the face,” Peter Bjork said.

Bjork is not in custody and currently is serving as a guard for USO entertainers. He has received the Bronze Star.
