While he is seeking asylum as a refugee in Canada, Hughey is not keeping a low profile. His story has appeared in a number of international newspapers, and his Web site, www.brandonhughey.org, is updated regularly.
Persecution ? Why, heck no !! How about Court Martial !? Throw him in the Brig !
He wants HIGH PROFILE ? Give him a HIGH PROFILE court martial. Alert FOX News, let Rush Limbaugh know about this ..... let EVERYONE know about this guy getting what he deserves: A prison cell for his little cowardous, Benedict Kerry-Arnold act .....
From his WEBSITE I got his E-MAIL ADDRESS and sent him my 2 cents
(which I expect NOT to get a reply from - we'll see):
Brandon:_________________________________________You're AWOL, son. Come back to the USA and face the music and maybe they won't be too hard on you.
I'm sorry to see a TEXAN doing this. How embarrasing. You knew when you went into the military that we were going to war with Iraq. If you objected to the war, you should NOT have signed up. But you did, and now you're not taking your oath to this country seriously.
What's even worse is that you CHOOSE to make your case high profile with your website. Good grief.

Please do the RIGHT thing. Come back and face the consequences for you action.

Too hard on him ? Too soft on him ? I think just about right.
If enough folks do this, maybe he'll do the right thing. Who knows ?
He's not "a soldier"--he's a criminal.
He's got zero morals so he can't have a moral objection.
He claims the war is "illegal"--a nonstarter.
His is a simple case of prison for years.
The network that enables him should be rounded up and presented to the hard-timers for recreational purposes.
