Hope Canada sends them back, but I wouldn't bet any money on it. I can't believe they already have web sites looking for donations.

Cowardice is the real motivation. Iraq has heated up some. Now he finds his finds his "conscience".

The day he got his draft notice, he went to Canada.

Oh, bad news guys desertion is different that draft evasion Canada will send yo' a$$ back to spend time in a military prison.

Yeah, well he wasn't too principled to take the king's shilling though, was he? Deserters - they are already in the military.

Be careful of what you ask for: you may get it.

It will be interesting to see what Canada does. I think I prefer they go where ever and that their US citizenship is rescinded. We must remember they are big boys now and subject to adult responses to their criminal actions. I would not be against their facing the death penalty if they are returned or choose to return.

some 60,000 men and women resisting the Vietnam War

HUH? Why in heaven's name would a WOMAN go to Canada to get out of going to Vietnam? Women were NOT drafted, and certainly a NURSE would NOT have done so. Is this just a PC slip or am I missing a large part of my Military youth to brain drain?

These 2 chimps should be hung from their necks until they are dead.

Hm, I wonder if they still are paying a bounty on the return of deserters?

"I started to question things as it became clear that basic training is all about breaking down the human inhibition against killing."

How do you even respond to this kind of comment? What did he think soldiers do?
