This editorial tells it like it is:No one can say we didn’t give them due process. It has been almost four years since Jeremy Hinzman and Brandon Hughey deserted the U.S. Army and fled to Canada. Since then, they’ve been…

As someone who pays Canadian taxes, I’ll be very thankful that they won’t be receiving welfare benefits any longer.

A side note — another deserter applying for refugee status in Canada wrote a book (The Deserter’s Tale: The Story of an Ordinary Soldier Who Walked Away from the War in Iraq by Joshua Key).

Another book published at the same time was The Volunteer by Michael Ross. He’s a Canadian who immigrated to Israel, converted to Judaism, served in the Israeli army and served in Mossad fighting terrorists. Every time I went to our local bookstore I would cover up copies of The Deserter’s Tale with The Volunteer. Subversive fun at the liberal-leaning bookstore!

These deserters may be afraid, but I don’t think that makes them cowards anymore than any of us who may have not volunteered to serve at all.

Another thing–if you leave the country, isn’t that a fair deal? Leave and never come back? You are no longer a citizen and therefore released of your duty to serve. See ya.

I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for this country. I have a cousin that served in Mosul for a year, and has finally come back. From what I’ve heard, he doesn’t talk much about what went on.

I just want you to know that in my opinion, you guys are heroes! You all are the real courageous ones.

These cowards that ran off to Canada when time came to serve their country as they promised should recieve the maximum allowable punishment under the UCMJ.

My brother went off to do his duty in Vietnam in ‘69 at 20 yrs old and returned home in a casket. An uncle was stationed in Germany during the war. I have NO sympathy for these deserters.

My dad enlisted in the Army for Vietnam, even though his draft number was high. My uncle had a low-ish number, but was “stationed in Canada”, if you get my meaning…
Though it is unfortunate these two guys are in the military.

I mean, what kind of idiot enlists and thinks they won’t have to go fight?

Patton would have slapped the crap outta both of them.

I was in Afghanistan with the Canadians. We lost a soldier each back on March 29th, 2005. So, they have their sons, daughters, parents and brothers and sisters in harm’s way too. It is no wonder our cowards will not be welcome in a country that has it’s people standing on the front lines.

The Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear appeals from Jeremy Hinzman and another deserter, Brandon Hughey, who applied for refugee status on the grounds of their opposition to the war in Iraq. The Supreme Court did not give a reason for their dec…..

If my memory serves me correctly; a person with a DHD can still own firearms, and get gov’t backed college scharlorships (sp?), BUT-a person with a BCD cannot own firearms, loses all veterans preferences, and cannot receive gov’t scharlorships (sp?)at all.

To really make these gentlemen pay, take them to courts-martial, if they are found guilty, and then punish them accordingly. This way even if they get a DHD, they are still convicted felons and lose the right to own a firearm, or even vote. Additionally, I would give them the option if they want to remain in this country they accept whatever punishment the SCM gives, if not-then they can petition a foreign government and immigrate there and simulataneously rake away their American citizenship.

But I am sick little squid, my suggestion is to send them to courts-martial, convict them, and send them home on a flight wearing baby blue pajamas with the word Coward writtten on the back.

A little public humilation can be a wonderful thing.

York wasn’t a concientious objector. He was urged to file for that status by his family and fiancee, but decided that warfare in a just cause was morally permissible. The movie is great, but gets a couple of things wrong and that is one of them.
