those 2 guys are here in Toronto and from what i heard in the news here, they don't meet the criteria to be awarded "safe haven"

im not sure what happens now???

So if something is illegal it is immoral?

Hundreds of thousands - LOL
Even the kookiest lefty sites aren't claiming more than 10,000 dead.

(not being a smart bellybutton here at all)

at least some of the people in this forum, who I previously thaught were America hating liberals, know what the words duty and honor mean. I'm surprised to say the least.

These guys dont deserve to be shot but imprisoned to say the least. They are a disgrace! We have America's finest serving in Iraq and Aghansitan right now and Americas worst running to Canada.

I disagree Pongo. This is a case of desertion not AWOL. His actions are are both indicative of a shortage of moral character and lack of concern for his fellow soldiers. Frankly they are likely far better off without him as they would never have been able to count on him in a crisis, he's too much of a coward as his running away has shown. He took an oath he should have held to his word. If he wanted to become a conscientous objector there are options to do so. He just didn't want to live up to his obligations. If he ever returns he needs to be charged, tried and incarcerated.

you haven't changed Hort...you still think you know more....nice self centered attitude....same ol' same ol'

it was an intended that way Hort.....

just like 99.9% of Americans think THEY won WW2 ALONE....

and If you really want the number of Allies....why don't you go and have fun searching it yourself....

should be easy in your case....cause there was just 1.

I think that if you've signed up to fight for your country and refuse to do so by leaving said country, you just should not be allowed back. Forget threat of jail or anything like that. Just don't allow 'em back in ever. Not even to vist relatives. I'd bet a policy like that would get some of these guys thinking twice.

would you go fight a 3rd world country because Martin said so....

SOB · « **Reply #55 on:** July 08, 2004, 08:00:28 PM »

Well, that's pretty much the case. They aren't allowed to come back into the country, unless they'd like to go to prison. If there was no punishment, then what would ever keep them from coming back?

I can't help but think that you're creating facts as you go, SLO. Call it a hunch or an eerie intuition.

I recall a number of years ago when I was working "Foot Patrol" in our downtown area and dealing with a fellow on a numerious occasions. It seemed he felt it was okay to turn young girls out on the street to work in order to pay for his chosen lifestyle. ANyway, as some of you know it's difficult to get these scums before the courts as the girls are terrified to testify. Well this one fellow was bragging to me about how he used to be in the US Navy but during a port call in Vancouver he deceided he had enough and "jumped ship" so to speak. I tucked this bit of info away in case I could use it some time. About a year later I was talking to him and he mentioned he was going to New York for a visit, I asked him when and what airline, just chatting him up. The dummy tells me everything including the flight number.

I made a call to US immigration and let them know that this fellow was on the way and perhaps some of his pld "ship mates" might be interested in seeing him arrive safely.

He was met by Navy Police (Shore Patrol ?) and I did not see him for over 2 years. When he finally made it back to Canada he told me he served the balance of his enlistment in "custody". I don't think he ever figured out it was me that dropped the dime on him.

I still smile every time I think of how surprised he must have been when he got off the plane.

the sanctions in place against iraq resulted in:

The effect of this situation on Iraq's infant and child population is especially severe. From 1991 to 1998, children under 5 died from malnutrition-related diseases in numbers ranging from a conservative 2,690 a month to a more realistic 5,357 per month.

*thats the 'immoral' figures I am referring to

I find it 'telling' that you laugh at ONLY 10,000 dead?
Must be a pleasant life you have running around with your head up your arse...fighting wars based on nothing but lies and killing innocents, destroying cities then suggesting that it's not immoral. What happened to you dude?

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 08, 2004, 08:05:10 PM »

LOL Sanctions
Dubya's war ENDED the sanctions you doofus.

I didn't laugh at 10,000 dead. I laughed at a person who is so out of touch with reality that he confuses 10,000 and 100,000.

As far as the 10,000 number, it's significant to be sure. But is it too high a price to pay to stop a madman who has already killed hundreds of thousands?
