Bush and all his supporters in oil and the military are killing this country and building anti-American sentiment...among our own people.

I've got to remorse for this guy. Why the hell did he sign up if he didn't want to fight?

Pussed out = turning himself in after 3 weeks UA. 

I don't know how less than 30 days absent translates to 'desertion', but there's your so-called 'military justice' (bullshit) at its very best. 

Anyone who still finds it in his heart to support this illegal war is a complete and total traitor to America.

Article 85 of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. The same UCMJ that this puss ass Spec4 swore to obey that lovely day at the MEPS station when he thought the chicks would dig a man in uniform

Any member of the armed forces who—

(1) without authority goes or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away therefrom permanently;

(2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service

President Bush ordered an attack on a sovereign nation which in no way was a threat to any American interests.  Our nation's military followed that illegal order, so all are guilty, with the exception of those who have elected not to participate.  

I assume this soldier is still receiving direct deposit, but I'm sure he'd gladly return all that blood money.

Your idea of "illegal is clearly all conjecture, anyway I am willing to bet Agayo lived fairly nice off of the government, and unforytunately cant' go back to all of the bills he paid, all the partying he did and get that money back.

Yeah, the guy doesn't wanna be there, you stop his pay and benefits immediately (retro to his date of departure), issue a dishonorable-NON-discharge, and wish him a nice life.  

A DND (if such a thing could exist) would indicate simply that a person was a military deserter, but would not include any indication of why.  He could explain that to any future potential employers.

Mmm, I don't think that junior enlisted are living that nicely, but I'll gladly contribute to his repayment fund.

And then take a nice tax write-off for it.

Cannot.  Memory is foggy, but I believe the worst they could do administratively is give him an "other than honorable" discharge.  Dishonorable discharge can only be handed down in a "general" court martial.

That's where it all falls down, my friend.  Iraq is not and has at no time in the past decade been a threat to the U.S.  

Last time I checked, it was the U.S. which had invaded Iraq, not the other way around.

Um, dude, the authorization was passed after we invaded.

I think you're right about the OTH.  What I was suggesting was having a new category which keeps deserters in a non-discharged status.  In order to be properly discharged, they'd have to return and face a military court.  BUT, the military court system would need to be fair...more like what you see on JAG as opposed to that joke that exists in real life.

The invasion was ordered by the executive branch, correct?

Maybe there should be a law against using the office of President for personal gain.

I don't know.  I tend to think watering down the laws governing AWOL and desertion might encourage more of these cowards to run.

Believe me junior emlisted do ok for their experience level, don't forget I was there once. And we can't just let everyone out that wants out. You sign up for 4-6 years, suck it up until that is over. If he is a Spec4 I am guessing he signed up post 9/11

Yes it was ordered by the executive branch, because he is the Commander in Chief.  But the issue you raised is whether the war is "illegal."  I understand having that opinion, but it will not hold up in any court, military or otherwise, because Congress endorsed the war, at least twice, after it started, and we have a multinational force.  I think the "illegal" argument would be much stronger if the UN voted that it was unauthorized.

Illegal?  Well shit, when the men who make the laws are the ones being discussed, the line gets fuzzy.

Did we attack a country because of what they MIGHT do?  Yes.

Fewer cowards in the military means that the real soldiers would be a LOT safer in the field.

North Korea has advanced nuclear technology and indoctrinates its kids with anti-American propaganda.  So, we send in Diane Sawyer.  That's diplomacy at work.

But Iraq is filled with brown people who have oil.  So, we send in the U.S. military and can't even secure a single highway.

And gas is $2.91/gallon today for the working stiff.

Perhaps.

I think overall though the benefit of maintaining "good order and discipline" by keeping these losers in would outweigh the detriment of mass defections.

he jumped out a of a window and fled to california...of course he is guilty...

exactly..read the f**king fine print when signing your name...just because there wasn't a war when he signed up doesn't mean there wouldn't be one during his tour...

I don't know why this is even a issue.


You took an oath and you signed up.

You are obligated to fight where ever your government tells you to fight.   

Your opinion or your beliefs mean nothing because you signed up voluntarily.
