He deserves to be jailed. If you sign up, the army has the right to make you DO YOUR JOB.
I think he is only saying it is immoral to be in iraq (craftly worded) because he doesn't want to be in a combat position.

Well, he revealed he has no sack.

I thought this was a volunteer army?

In the court of law, contract violations have to punished in a fair manner. If someone owes you thousand dollars worth of lumber and you sue them for the lumber plus $50,000 in damages, your case will be thrown out.

The soldier needs to be punished for violating the contract, but instead of jail time he should lose all his benefits and perhaps a fine.

The problem with that is that he will be tried by a military court, not a civilian court. They have different rules for going AWOL and that sort of thing.

Again, remember that these are all things he agreed to when he signed that contract to join the military. It even says in the article that the Army put him in a non-combat role because he was a conscientious objector. At this point, they've accommodated him as much as they can while he continues to act like a crybaby about it.

Read the article closely... There are many telling details in there. He's not protesting the Iraq War... He's protesting getting shot at. Which is ridiculous. He joined the military.

He applied for conscientious objector status in 2002... Iraq wasn't even on the military map at that point. He applied for it because his unit was being sent to Afghanistan, not Iraq. You know, Afghanistan, the place where America should really be fighting. That's something almost everything can agree on (most of the world backed us in that invasion).

To put it bluntly, this guy joined the military to get a free ride, good insurance, and a little glamour. When the country went to war, he started crying about it because he didn't want to die.

This has nothing to do with Iraq. After organizing the dates in that article a bit, the guy makes me sick. I hope they throw the book at him.
