In July 2008, Robin Long, another soldier who fled the U.S. to avoid fighting in Iraq, was kicked out of Canada and is now serving a 15-month prison term in California.
Who says there's no good news anymore?

Put her in jail. She joined, then ran like a coward.

"It's ridiculous . . ."Well, Mrs. Deserter, our political elites think the same thing when we don't want to welcome every lawbreaker who manages to sneak in your former country. I'd think you would welcome the opportunity to flee a country which just re-elected a conservative to one which just elected a Marxist.

While I think EVERY deserter should be punished for cowardice, I would like to know why this one person is being sent back, if they all are not.

I have zero sympathy for people who volunteer, then run.
She is a coward who disgraced the uniform. No punishment is enough.

A handful have been ordered to leave, and await court rulings to determine whether they can appeal the orders. We're working on it.

The first female U.S. Iraq war resister to seek refuge in Canada This article is from the Toronto Star. For anyone not familiar with the Star, it's left-wing bias is so bad, it makes the NY Times look "fair and balanced"

While I think EVERY deserter should be punished for cowardice, I would like to know why this one person is being sent back, if they all are not. It's pretty easy for an American to lay low in Canada, if they want to. In truth, the US military doesn't really actively try to find deserters, especially not ones who have left the country.
So, if a deserter isn't out there giving interviews and calling attention to himself, he can probably avoid the attention of the Canadian authorities.

Well, here is what the UCMJ says her punishment should be.
(c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.
If she gets prison she is lucky.

I am with you 100%! You took the money to do a job and then decided you didn’t like the job. Either give back EVERY SINGLE PENNY, including the value of the training that you received in your time in the military or go to jail!
People rely on you to do your job and now someone else has to be brought in and caught-up and integrated into a unit that may be facing combat - that is unfair to all those who relied on you and trusted that you had their back!

She thought about the military again. The Army offered job security, sign-on bonuses, a food and clothing allowance, medical benefits, housing allowance, "Everything I needed, they had. It's the best form of socialism" she thought. -- Kimberly Rivera, on why she joined the military..

Lousy traitor.
I expect Obomber to pardon all such draft dodgers just as Jimmuh Carter did after Vietnam.
