I e-mailed the source of this story and asked where Part II was (can hardly wait for the follow up I wrote).

They e-mailed by return I think, and it will be posted tonite they say.

Wonder if he is going back to a simple life working the land .... becoming a pot-grower on the west coast.

Has he never heard of STUDENT LOANS???
___

Oh, he's heard of them, but to quote him he "didn't want to be strapped into a middle-class existence" ie he hates the American middle class and its values and is rejecting them and he wants someone else to foot the bill for his education so he can reap the rewards of it for himself and his family.

The problem this person has is that he is not willing to suffer for his convictions.

The plight of many young leftists like him.

Back at ya;-)
You get a smile for using a Kinison quote too:-)

[Brad’s Gramma]

He looks like a girl.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

ie, responsible citizen and possible taxpayer.

My brother,who had to leave his wife and baby daughter, just returned from fulfilling his duty in Iraq yesterday. On behalf of my brother, I would like to spit on this gutless piece of crap!

Neighbors like Canada and the US HAVE to have strong extradition laws. If not, good neighbors soon become havens for the other countries criminal class.

Oh, is that what is happening in Mexico?

[IrishCatholic]

He expected to serve in an Al Gore/John Kerry military. Kind of says it all about the scumbags.

Point 1: I'm sorry this (EXPLETIVE DELETED) ever stepped foot in my hometown. I'm sorry, but we have an all-volunteer army now. I don't have much of a problem with 60's draft dodgers for various reasons, but these days you ask to join the service.

Point 2: I'm amused this article appeared in the Independent Weekly, famous in the early 90's for its "Couples seeking Couples" ads...

Apparently, they still have the personal ads. Wasn't this a free paper? I used to LOVE to read the personal ads while I was in college, for entertainment purposes only, of course.

But back to the deserter...what the heck was a vegetarian doing in a McDonald's?

What a total loser. I wonder if Canada will let him stay. Probably will. He will NEVER set foot in this country again, without getting his scrawny ass thrown in prison, I hope. I hope we keep surveillance on him in Canada so that if he tries to sneak back in, they'll be waiting for him on the other side. (And to hell with what the Canadians have to say about it!)

I believe we are at war. Most thinking people believe we are at war (and that it started on 911). Therefore the UCMJ is very clear on what will happen after the Article 32 hearing. Maybe Heinzman will get lucky and see life imprisonment at Leavenworth.

I've been to Leavenworth two times (TDY w/the 207th), and care never to go back.

"When he joined the Army, he said he was expecting Al Gore to be elected president"

What an idiot.

Walking into your commanding officer's office wearing a dress and kissing him on the cheek is a good way to get the boot.

Doss, Desmond T.

Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Army, Medical Detachment, 307th Infantry, 77th Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Urasoe Mura, Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands, 29 April-21 May 1945. Entered service at: Lynchburg, Va. Birth: Lynchburg, Va. G.O. No.: 97, 1 November 1945. Citation: He was a company aid man when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar and machinegun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them 1 by 1 to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On 2 May, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and 2 days later he treated 4 men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within 8 yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making 4 separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On 5 May, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small arms fire and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On 21 May, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, this time suffering a compound fracture of 1 arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty.

Doss is one of the MOH recipients featured in the video series True American Heroes. According to the film, he had a job at a shipyard, which would have exempted him from the draft, but he refused to take this out and instead joined the Army as a medic with the 77th ID, where the other men admired and respected him for his dedication to his country while still holding true to the religious beliefs with which he had been raised (I believe he was a Jehovah's Witness). The paragraph above is his MOH citation.

The Quakers, like all the other pacifist organizations, enjoy the right to exercise their beliefs as free men/women because of the willingness of other American citizens to answer the call to arms. It is the men and women of the Armed Forces whose blood is spilled, so that all citizens of the U S of A may live as they wish to.

Ingrates! Draft them all into national service.

Canada needs to be pressured big time to produce this lily livered future resident of Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.

[wimpycat]

A real Quaker wouldn't join the military. And this Big "L" Loser isn't a real Quaker. He's "into" all sorts of things. He's "spiritual".

[Maximum Leader]

Yeah, the Mexican Supreme Court has ruled that a life sentence is cruel and unusual punishment, so they have refused to extradite criminals (murderers, drug dealers, etc.) who face a life sentence.
http://www.sexcriminals.com/news-archive/info-14344.html

"At least 150 Mexican nationals wanted by Los Angeles County authorities for murder, rape and other serious crimes committed here are unlikely to be extradited because Mexico's government considers life sentences unconstitutional."

[railsplitter]

I call em like I see em... The Quakers helped with the living arrangements for this deserter up in Canada (according to the article). The Quakers can be as pious or holy or pacifistic as they want to be... they can do so because willing Americans defend our way of life with their blood, allowing the Quakers and all other pacifists to enjoy a free ride. Convictions or not, they do not defend American with their blood.
