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.

From the article (link is below):

"I feel that if a soldier is given an order that he knows to not only be illegal, but immoral as well, then it his responsibility to refuse that order," he wrote in response to e-mailed questions from the San Angelo Standard-Times. "It is also my belief that if a soldier is refusing an order he knows to be wrong, it is not right for him to face persecution for it."

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.

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

Sincerely,

[MeekOneGOP]

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 ?

The order was not illegal.If he finds war immoral,he joined the wrong group.He is scared,flattered by the peacenic help and enjoying a bit of press at the moment.I feel sorry for his parents and friends.The glamour will wear off and he'll want to come home.

I would feel more sympathy because of his youth if he had simply left and not used the illegal and immoral excuse.His new "friends" are using him.
