US MARINES PROBE 'FAHRENHEIT 911' SOLDIER
WENN ^ | 7/30/04

The Marine reservist who told Michael Moore in 'Fahrenheit 911' that he would not fight in Iraq and accompanied Moore as the filmmaker attempted to persuade members of Congress to have their kids to join up to fight is being investigated by the United States Marine Corps, USA Today reported.

According to the newspaper, the Corps are conducting a preliminary inquiry into Lance Cpl. Abdul Henderson's appearance in the film.

A spokesman for the US Marines, Patrick Kerr, commented: 'He made it very clear he would not follow orders. We're trying to determine what, if anything, he said or did is wrong.'

Asked what would befall Henderson if he failed to show up for a second tour of duty in Iraq, Kerr replied, 'Technically, he'd be a deserter.'

Henderson told the newspaper that he has heard nothing from his superiors. 'I expect trouble, but who knows?'

Abdul is readying himself to be a future Democratic presidential candidate.

Let him be a patriot! [gag]

There should be nothing that they can do to him unless and until he does refuse an order. I don't know what there is to investigate. Hanging out with fat idiots is not against the UCMJ, at least not to my knowledge.

"According to the newspaper, the Corps are conducting a preliminary inquiry into Lance Cpl. Abdul..."

That's pretty much as far as I needed to read to find out what I needed to about this guy.

I would suggest the USMC write Abdul a set of orders for Iraq, if he doesn't have any!

Maybe he was undercover in Moore's organization. In that case, we'll never know unless someone sends out an email.

There are other applicable regulations in the UCMJ. He'll do hard time.

Maybe a fellow soldier's gun will accidentally discharge and give Abdul an early rendezvous with his 72 virgin girls.

This marine is no soldier, no matter what he did.

If the UCMJ doesn't knock him one across the head, some of his fellow Marines may do it for him!

"Hanging out with fat idiots is not against the UCMJ, at least not to my knowledge."

I agree. Don't give him special treatment beyond what any other malcontent would get. Wait till he refuses his orders, if he ever does, and then nail him.
