WASHINGTON (AP) — A Marine who was declared a deserter nearly 10 years ago after disappearing in Iraq and then returning to the U.S. claiming he had been kidnapped, only to disappear again, is back in U.S. custody, officials said Sunday.
Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, 34, turned himself in and was being flown Sunday from an undisclosed location in the Middle East to Norfolk, Va. He is to be moved Monday to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, according to a spokesman, Capt. Eric Flanagan.
Maj. Gen. Raymond Fox, commander of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Lejeune, will determine whether to court martial Hassoun.

Please ease up my friend. Your reference to the Medal is about 99.44% lacking in respect. I probably agree with whatever else you say about this deserter but referencing him and the Medal together is a bit much.

Apologies, no disrespect intended, but there seems to be a rash of rewarding the wrong people for the wrong things. Maybe Obama will just present them with new prayer rugs; it is ramadan you know.
When is his parade?
Or praise from the rose garden, or vj singing his praises?
Your lips to allah’s horns. . .
Muslims do not belong in our military. Period.
He’ll come out as gay and everything will be fine.
Target and General Mills will sponsor the parade.
He’ll jump Ellen’s couch and be on Dancing with the Stars.
After that he’ll run for US Senator for Massachusetts and win after tossing his medals over the White House fence.
Keith Ellison will swear him in on a koran.
;)
It would be funny, if it were not a distinct possibility under our Muslim President.
