Give him anchor duty - while it's submerged.

"But he IS a deserter, and he ought to have the courage of his convictions. Sentence him to the fullest extent."

Hear, hear

The man is neither a coward or an objector. He is the scum of the earth. He is one of the typical "I didn't sign up for this, I'm just here for college money"

He is a deserter and should be treated as such. 15yrs in prison sounds like a good number to me. It's better than the firing squad I'd like to lead.

Seems my typo virus has the ability to precede me into a thread.
I was looking at the sidebar link to this thread and was about to click on it, and refreshed my comments page instead.

Bingo..

*chuuckle*
We shall add Emnemy to the list of words.
Needs an extended definition.

A bad conduct discharge is not appropriate. Only a DISHONORABLE is appropriate for this deserter.

Judge Lieutenant Commander Klant said to the court: "I think the government has successfully proved that any seaman recruit has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal."

Why the hell was this even discussed at the Courts Martial? The Supreme Court has ruled the the Congressional Resolutions on both Afghanistan and Iraq make the wars legal...Case closed.

What the hell kind of commie Judge is this guy?

A concientious objector is opposed to all war, not just a specific one. Very lame excuse. If he wants to oppose Iraq than so be it but he must be responsible for his actions.

That is the difference between the Army and Navy. The Army would have hemmed his butt up in one of our prisons. That is why I xhose the Army.... Discipline that is tough and decisive when needed.

"I'm going to throw my ID in the water and say that I'm no longer part of the military," said Petty Officer Third Class Pablo Paredes, 23.


LOL.
THE NAVY will tell you when they're done with you.
And it might not be for a few more years, coward.

He is a IDIOT. What did he think the Navy does? He should have signed up with Princess Cruise Line, not the US Navy.
