Cowards.
Those who refuse to deploy should be incarcerated in a Federal Pen till the unit returns.

This is what happens when you have been running an ad campaign like the "Army of One" emphasizing what you get from being in the Army rather than what you can do for your country.
Surprised to see a Marine do that, they recruit the right way, IMHO.

Who came up with that Army of One crap anyway? Was that Shinseki?

It was on Shinseki's watch. Ad Agency pap as usual.
As for those who refuse to deploy? I personally favor a length of rope.

However, he adds: "I have to say that my image of my country always being the good guy, and always fighting for just causes, has been shattered."
So fighting the people who murder civillians is a bad thing? God these people are so confused! Stay in Canada you turd, and when terrorism finally strikes there where will you run? Ass. :mad:

Balking Sailor Is Sentenced
SAN DIEGO, May 12 (AP) - A sailor was sentenced Thursday to three months of hard labor for refusing to ship out for the Persian Gulf in protest against the war in Iraq.
The sailor, Pablo Paredes, a 23-year-old New Yorker, was also demoted from petty officer third class to seaman recruit, the lowest rank in the Navy.
A military judge, Lt. Cmdr. Bob Klant, imposed the sentence a day after finding Seaman Paredes guilty of refusing to board the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard, which received orders for the Persian Gulf in December.

I must also add - that it has happened in our community as well. When the call came out in November 2001 for our SF unit to go to Afghanistan - there were some fighting to get in their retirement paperwork.
And one - my favorite - claimed virtigo.

Pfc. Dan Felushko: ""(What) it basically comes down to, is it my right to choose between what I think is right and what I think is wrong?" asks Felushko. "And nobody should make me sign away my ability to choose between right and wrong.""
I have to remember that for Basic...
"Sergeant. I think it's wrong to do pushups. And nobody should make me sign away my ability to choose between right and wrong." :rolleyes:
I think the Gov. should hunt him down and prosecute him.
I get really worked up when I think what would the Gov. would have done had this been WWII.
Firing Squad anyone?
