all you wonderful people sound like such great americans, lets not forget the person sending us to fight is a deserter himself. Not proven, nor is true.
lets all go out to iraq and liberate the poor iraqis by destroying their infrastructure in the early 90s, holding sanctions against them for about a decade that prevents them from living with the quality of life everyone should live with and then come back, bomb them all over again, and make them live with a form of government we decided for them. yea, thats really liberating these people. Dude, you were the dumbass that signed up for the cause. Before you say anything else, my husband served 8 years, deployed to Desert Storm while we lived in Germany. He is out and cannot be called back. Youi signed on dude. Be a man or be a wimp.
as for ur tax dollars, yea, billions of ur tax dollars were wasted on operations to stop a weopons of mass destruction program that never existed. Why did the US ignore the UN's suggestion to gather more evidence on the situation b4 resorting to war?? No one can answer that. Most never agreed with it in the first place, but you joined remember?
that could have saved a lot of your tax dollars for better causes, like ensuring the qaulity of life for millions of AMERICANS. but whatever, i'm sure you patriots never wanna hear any other side but your own anyway. Don't fool yourself. This forum knows the military life and most have lived it. Nothing new kid.
apparently, picking up an M16 and killing A-rabs is the only way to show that u love this country
YOU JOINED IDIOT!!!!! Hell, my husband didn't sign on again. Don't play that crap with me. I do not agree, I did not vote for Bush this time, but you obligated yourself to a serious commitment, along with Misleadyouth.
Now you will have something to think about the rest of your lives. You failed as men. You have no morals. You should never have joined. You were stupid to join.
Gee, see how that works?
Gesus, get your head on straight and grow up.
Heres some more food for thought for Misledyouth who is trying to convince himself of a general discharge,( OTH).
According to the Uniform Code For Military Justice, if a soldier goes
AWOL for 30 days, the government changes the status to desertion. Both
are violations under the code.
When the status is changed to desertion, according to the code, the
military contacts family members and issues an arrest warrant to all
of the law enforcement agencies in the United States. If police then
stop the
individual, he/she will be arrested and returned to military control.
An AWOL soldier, under article 86 of the Uniform Code For Military
Justice, faces a maximum punishment of "a dishonorable discharge,
forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement at hard labor
for 18 months."
Article 85 of the code, dealing with desertion, establishes that "the
maximum punishment is a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay
and allowances, and confinement at hard labor for three years. In
times of war, the maximum punishment for desertion is death by lethal
injection."
