Notwithstanding that, I disagree with Terry and sdiver. Imprisonment or dishonorable discharge? I would proffer charges under Article 85 and Article 99, with notice to seek the death penalty. The punk thinks a simple AWOL charge would be the bad-old Army "piling on"? The soldiers under his command who go to Iraq do it knowing they are risking their lives to do their duty; if he thinks his judgment is so much better and his principles so much stronger than his superiors, he should be ready to risk his life on his little gamble as well.

I have np problems with seeking the death penalty in this case, just don't think it will fly! Also don't think you can single him out, when MANY are AWOL, having missed shipment, and they have not even been apprehended. I say we go after all of them, males, females, every last one of them.
