> Just wow.
Well, keep in mind this is the Beebe - the Domestic
Enemy Press in the UK. So one needs to ask:
1. Is the story even true?
2. What is the normal peacetime desertion rate? The
numbers in story carefully avoid talking about pre-2001
and giving us any historical context.
3. Where are the AWOLs happening, and how many of these
runners have "Mohammed" in their names?
4. If they desert in Iraq, where would they go (short term problem), how would they get to friendly territory (long term problem), or even home?
