[QUOTE="jackers, post: 4247197, member: 15520"] [url]http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061031/ap_on_re_us/awol_soldier_surrender[/url] Whatever happened to people getting punished for deserting? Unauthorized Absence in a time of war carries with it a maximum penalty of death by execution. Now I am not saying this kid needs to be killed, but all he received was a slap on the hand. What kind of message does this send to the rest of America? When you are in the Military, you are part of a Unit. When one part of that Unit goes UA, it impacts the entire Unit. This guy enlisted under his own free will. The Military isn't just a boy-scout club; it is a Military organization, which is governed by its own set of rules and guidelines. It is a killing organization, which preserves our way of life. Even if you don't agree with an Order, it is still just that, an ORDER! Honor, Courage, Commitment, Dedication...all of these words mean something to a member of the U.S. Military and this guy just runs away because he, as a soldier, wasn't trained to go on patrol. Come on. [/QUOTE]
