I'm starting to really like this guy. He starts with relating what people think about America to some innocuous personal memory.

To all those America bashers:

Its sad to see how much the rest of the world stereotypes America. I live here I am satisfied, end of story. I don't care if every countries roads are paved with gold, or borders are built with steal walls. America is were I was born and America is the place i grown to know and love.

Go ahead, try and tell people that america sucks, if your that arrogant I want nothing to do with wear (Personal Note: Hmmm) you live and just proves that the united states is doing the right thing.

Guy, seriously, you should relax. I think America sucks, but I'm not (and most others) are not comparing it to other countries. It sucks when looking at the way it could be if thing could start to change for the better rather than the worse.

I was about to dismiss you as a harmless jingoist (which is fine by me, this is America after all). But then you go on to say this:

well lads and gents I said what i needed to. I can't take these endless arguments. I feel its in my best interest to stay out of these politically motived threads. One word of advise, every thing is not as it seems, keep your mind open to others opinions than just yours. The future shall tell you the truth...

The distain seems obvious when you speculate that we somehow have out minds closed because we don't love America and just call it a day.

But you are right about something. The future will tell the truth, and I have a sneaking suspicion we are going to lose this. It will be taken right from under our noses.

No offense though, I'm just ribbing you a bit.

I voted for the guy that said he wouldn't have

I'm a little burnt out on the subject for now...maybe some other time.

Desertion, dereliction of duty, insubordination and A.W.O.L.

All of these offenses put together should carry the mandatory punishment of death by firing squad! No exceptions!

If they have any children, then the children should be taught: You don't run out on your duty!

Oh, the shame these children are going to have to face when their classmates find out that their fathers are YELLOW-BACK COWARDS!

At least they (the children) would live with a little dignity knowing that their COWARD fathers were executed for their crimes!

There are many men that live that deserve death, and many that die that deserve life. You shouldn't be so quick to dispense that remedy, as you know nothing of them.

Recommending death without a comprehensive knowledge of the case is blatantly foolhardy, if not plain unwise.

This is America after all. The life of an American soldier is something that shouldn't be so hastily thrown away.

I think that might be the problem in the first place. Calm down and rethink your position.

And by the way, sleeping on watch during a time of war used to carry the same penalty. Doesn't seem like such a bright idea now.

If i cannot say WE than what do I say. It just shows the disgusting division of beliefs on how the government should be run in the USA.

Sorry if saying WE the offended anyone in the "united" states

damn skippy jack. I AM A FIRM BELIEVER WE SHOULD RUN IT ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION. the constitution has since been over-ruled. the costitution states that if it becomes over-ruled its our right to militia up. read it, its a good work.

A REAL PATRIOT has to give his life for others freedoms sometimes, be it Battlefield OR Prison.

Unless of course you are just a coward then go ahead and run

better to run, and fight another day, sometimes. dead people can't fight. living people can fight without ever leaving their houses. the real war is always information.
perhaps, one of these refugees will be a future 'john connor' in the war against 'terminator 3, the rise of the machines'.

i agree with the decision, he volunteered to be in the military, he signed the contract, his problem.

Right decision, IMO. Besides that, I think the kid needs a new laywer:

"He is disappointed," House told CBC TV. "We don't believe that people should be imprisoned for doing what they believe is illegal."
