Roger Hegecock was talking about this on Rush the other day and it floored me. How in the hell are we supposed to fight the enemy OUTSIDE our borders when we have to deal with this stuff from an enemy WITHIN our borders???

Maybe I'm over reacting a bit here...but IMHO this guy should either spend the rest of his aduly life on the synchronized mowing team at Ft. Leavenworth or shot for desertion.

"Missing Movement" is a court martial offense. They need to make an example out of this guy.

If memory serves, the only people who are allowed to resign are Commissioned officers, not enlisted or non-coms.

Paredes had planned to publicly throw his military I.D. into the ocean to underscore his stand against the war. This guy planning to run for the senate in Mass.?

With 240 million people you are always going to have this. The media will zero in on the .000001 percent and blow it all up so that it appears like its a mass movement. The military will handle it and the guy will get a dishonorable. The American people don't respect, and are not concerned, with these people because they are fraudulent volunteers...not conscripts.

Agreed this guy needs to be court marshaled...but what about the "organization" that is out there promoting this kind of action by our armed forces. From what Hegecock said earlier this week...this group is advertising on CITY BUSES in San Diego! Isn't there something...ANYTHING the state or Federal gov't can do to stop this blatant act of...forgive me if the word is wrong...sedition...by our own citizens?

On Sunday, he had called newspapers and radio and TV stations to announce his anti-deployment intentions. So instead of addressing his concerns through the proper channels, he runs to the media. Confinement on bread and water follwed by a trip to boot camp - Marine boot camp - should give this guy a good attitude adjustment.

Ditto...not to mention Article 92 of the UCMJ.

He talked with media and waited to be arrested, but the arrest didn't happen....Paredes, 23, wasn't taken into custody because he hadn't violated any regulations. ... an officer can't be listed as missing until an official roll has been called aboard ship. "Paredes is considered (to be) in an unauthorized absent status."
Paredes believes he wasn't detained because of the media presence.
Looks like to me that the military is learning how to play press games. Had they arrested the guy, they would have walked into the briar patch in the middle of the media flap going on about Rumsfeld. I think it quite possible that he will be arrested at a time of their choosing--when the press is not waiting in the shadows to witness it.

And if you resign your commission, it doesn't necessarily mean that your obligation is ended. It just means you are not an officer any more.

Paredes had planned to publicly throw his military I.D. into the ocean to underscore his stand against the war. But yesterday, he changed his mind after learning that he could be charged with destruction of government property.I'm not one who likes to use this word, but man, what a p*ssy. I don't think I'd want him next to our true men in uniform. He could get someone hurt!
To: Arkinsaw
I agree and as a member of the media I know this goes on...as a member of the military as well this kind of publicity stunt sickens me. As a plain old citizen of the U.S. it outrages me that this kind of thing happens...even if it is done by a small amount of the people.
