#1 When you sign the contract, you go where they tell you. You don't get to pick and choose. And here it is again "International law". What the heck does "international law" have to do with a soldier deserting? Keel haul him.

#2 Heh--LTC Smash, conveniently located in San Diego, has been following Pablo for some time now. He's impressed by the brief, 40-minute deliberation for the guilty verdict.

#4 "He was very concerned about the deaths of more than a thousand American servicemen and women, and of thousands of Iraqis."

No, he was concerned about himself. Please peddle your bullshit elsewhere, Tranzi wankjob.

#5 Towing an M-88 is not very easy - I'm surprised that anything except another M-88 would be used. It would be like towing a cadillac with a volkswagen beetle.

#6 You know I might excuse a Seaman 1, 2, or 3 but when you are an NCO I expect a little better loyalty. I never was in the Navy, but I can't imagine someone standing on shore while their shipmates sail off to war without you. Since they were able to leave port and navigate all the way to Iraq (with a stop in Indonesia) without PO Paresdes I am guessing he wasn't missed too much. I wonder how his shipmates feel about him and if they want him back? No mention about anybody testifying FOR him, that says a lot about him. What a putz!

#7 The great thing is his ship actually spent time helping typhoon victims, something I assume his tranzi 'tard friends think should be the Navy's main goal. Certainly makes arguing against him easier.

#8 the second charge was dismissed because it was lesser to what he was actually convicted of. No great moral victory, there, asshole. I hope this puke spends every day wishing he was dead

#9 He did this during war time. He should get the yard arm. Screw thei TRANZI "international law" bull shit.

#10 A federal felony conviction will now follow the lad for the rest of his life. Guess he'll get work in Hollywood as a minor celeb.

However when one raise his right hand and swears an oath "I Pablo Paredes, do solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That I take this obligation freely without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion..." and then breaks said oath, the man's word is now worthless before all witnesses. Anyone who extends a contract of any form to this individual, does it with forknowledge that such contract is not honored by Mr. Paredes.
