U.S. Army Lieutenant makes wrong turn - joins Legion.
[Daily Mail] A US Army Lieutenant who deserted to join the French Foreign Legion has been jailed for four years following a court martial. Second Lieutenant Lawrence Franks, 28, graduated in second place from West Point military academy in 2008 before deserting the following year. Lt Franks vanished from Fort Drum in New York state in 2009 and despite a massive search of nearby woods, there was no sign of any body. He's no longer suicidal, currently 3-3 in French, and a master chef with book deal pending. Not bad for a second place USAMA cadet. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-12-17 |
