[Derisive Snort] - I think the truth is the guy didn't like washing dishes.

What did he think non-combatant would be. Sitting in the general's outer office, writing e-mails?

Looks like they complied with his request and he had a tantrum.

Canada will make a hero out of him - or at least another issue to gossip against the U.S.for the next day or so... for their "cruel treatment" of this couple.

Hey folks: A coward is a coward - no other way to dress it up!

I think he should be returned for punishment. Otherwise it is a slap in the face of those who serve without question.

Check out this story from another local (NC) newspaper site:

82nd Airborne soldier wants out of Army, seeks asylum in Canada

Hinzman's chances of receiving refugee status are slim: Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board said none of the 268 American applicants last year was accepted.

Those who are denied refugee status may be granted permission to stay in Canada under other provisions, said Charles Hawkins, a spokesman for the board.

'Cowardice is pretty much down there.'

Not sure what you mean here.

'Canada will make a hero out of him - or at least another issue to gossip against the U.S.for the next day or so... for their "cruel treatment" of this couple.'

Nope. I can't say he'll be sent back (seeing as I'm no immigration lawyer), but he won't be any hero.
