#1 Is he sure he hasn't already been discharged like that pinhead from last week?

#2 A sure sign we have won in Iraq. Canadian courts are suddenly making nice to us.

#3 Not sure that is the reason, Shusorong White1099. I suspect common sense. Canadian Armed Forces aren't large in numbers and there's no need to set a precedent for deserters.

#4 Everyone loves a winner SW1099. I think you'll see a lot of countries change their tone when we really get Iraq buttoned down. Now to Afghanistan!

#5 Q: How many MP's does it take to throw a Military Deserter down a flight of stairs?

A: None. He trips by himself.

#6 I say refuse him entry. Tell the Canuks that he's their problem now, we don't want him.

#7 It ain't 1968. You aren't a draftee, dildo. You volunteered. With Canada having guys bleeding and dying in this thing they're probably real thrilled they have to deal with your whining chickenshit ass.

Naaah, let him come back, face a court martial, and get sentenced to five years cleaning latrines at Leavenworth. It's a lousy job, but somebody's got to do it. Might as well be this POS.

#9 No, don't court martial him -- he'll end up a darling of the Left, and we don't need that right now.

He gets a dishonorable discharge, and then he's ignored for the rest of his pathetic life. And every time he goes for a job interview, applies for a loan, etc., he can explain what happened.

#10 "No, don't court martial him...He gets a dishonorable discharge,"

He'll prolly git 6/6 and a Baked Chicken Dinner, not a DD. In any case, sentence would be handed out at Court Martial. Otherwise, he could only get a General, Admin type discharge, right?

#11 Essentially. He can get a general, with an 'other than honorable' condition. It's an administrative discharge and there's still a hearing process, but it's not a judicial process.

#12 Still think 6 6 and a kick is what this guy needs (or 1-1-and-done as its said these days).

Requires Specail Courts Martial though, and this guy is deserving of it.

But barring that, administrative Article15 punishment max (reduction in rank and some stockade time), and an OTH is probably what will be done.

#13 And bill the jagoff for the training, unis, food and board.
