US soldier avoiding Iraq ordered to leave Canada

Bull# you guys. People make mistakes... I realize this is a real big mistake to make but i think she should have EVERY RIGHT to ditch the army, like with any profession. Seeing as this is an illegal war, signing on the dotted line should mean nothing. A woman with a husband and kids getting five years in prison, for what? Saying she doesnt want to die and leave her kids with no mother? F*** O** tbh.

It's my understanding that she is still in Canada with her family....more than likely she will remain there.

Nah, shooting smelly bearded men in the face is just a perk.

Why did I join? You wouldn't understand.

The mistake was allowing this splittail to be able to run to Canada and leave her buddies hanging. Because she didn't go, her unit went one person short, which screws everyone else.

Illegal war? BS. And who decides that? Just because you don't want to go, you don't pull the "this war is illegal" crap and think you can get out of it.

Besides desertion, they should get her for breach of contract, too.

Arrogance suits you well. I love your "holier than thou" attitude, it's quite becoming.

You are an extremely misguided individual.

Speechless. I wonder how many people have added you to their ignore list tonight apart from me? Many i hope.

It was obvious to me from the start, are you the natural psycho or the ones who lost it in the battle field? Is it alright for me to ask

I told you, it's just part of that "outlaw" thing I've quickly grown accustom to, since you said it was illegal to take part in OIF.

Ignorance. It's saddening, really.

The war is unconstitutional on grounds that Congress never declared War. Congress illegally abrogated their power to declare war to the President, such act is unconstitutional. The only way for the war to be legal and hold constitutional merit is for Congress to legally declare war, an act that has not occurred.

Until such declaration is put in writing and confirmed by majority vote in Congress, the war remains unconstitutional. Following orders to deploy to Iraq is thus following an unconstitutional order...and thus, a breach of contract.

OOORAH!

Ask me if I care. I'll sleep well at night.

Obviously, humor is not your strong suit.

How about Duty, Honor, Country? You know, that JFK thing about "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

And chicks dig guys with Air Medals.

I only had to read one of his posts to realize that Some people really should think before they 'type'.

I respect the average military man/woman. I just have no respect anybody (military or non) with an attitude so condescending, arrogant and closed minded that it makes you want to pull your hair out.

Okay guys...obviously there are differing opinions here....no need to get nasty. I think we know where all of you stand. It is a heated subject, that's for sure. Thank you for all your comments, I appreciate all of your points of view!

And I guess all the Congressmen/women that voted to go into Iraq? I guess they are criminals, too, right?

Hey, I haven't even turned my obnoxious dial up to "medium" yet.

But you're right.

They too violated their oath of office, and as violating said oath is a crime, they too are criminals.

Hey Jerico,

Did you know any PSYOPS people while you were in? I had a post on PSYOPS here, but it did not get much attention and died.

PSYOPS Thread

For those of you unfamiliar with why the war is unconstitutional, and thus illegal, take a look at the aforementioned link.

The soldiers who understand their oath and who refuse to go to Iraq on the basis that doing such would be a violation of their oath, have the legal standing to properly win their case.

Like I said earlier, there is no reason to run away to Canada, and I disagree with doing such (I think it's quite cowardly to say "no, I won't go to war," say it's illegal, and then run off...they should prove why it's illegal, AND THEY CAN). These soldiers should refuse to go, and they have the power to do so. I just wish more of them would stand up and stay true to the oath they took.

Good to hear its humour but still makes you wonder, your posts are consistant, I had a discussion with you on the other thread also.

Duty, Honor, Country? All goes under the brainwash category, I already stated that previously.

Chiks, I have known many people who join the army and none of them mentioned anything regarding chiks lol. Why would you go to army where you are not allowed to have sexual relationships just to get chiks? Or was that humour also?

Hell when i was 18 three years after the Vietnam war ended I knew the military was'nt for me i knew you could go to war and they hounded me to join.She joined, She blew it ,I have no sympathey for her.She volunteered.......
