http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/98 ... etail.html I read this morning that the young Marine who took a fall up in Eldarado Canyon while on leave, and later turned missing, is actually AWOL. It seems he was never in that canyon. His "Buddy" filed a fruadulant report to cover for his friend. Now his buddy is under arrest and will have to pay restitution for all costs incurred for the search. I was told that this particular Marine is on his 3rd tour in Iraq. To be honest, after that many times over there, I can understand him not wanting to go back. What I can't understand is why he didn't just run and save the searchers, as well as his buddy, all the trouble. Now his buddy, Steve Powers, is facing criminal charges of which the restitution will keep him in debt for the rest of his life, and he may even be looking at jail. Meanwhile, young mr. Hering is on the lamb from the Marine Corps, and will probably end up getting caught and jailed, not only for desersion but also as a conspiritor in his own disappearance. What a bone head! If he'd have just deserted, he'd only be looking at that, and his friend would not be facing jail and worse, and his family would only be slightly shamed, instead of being publicly humileated in the National News. What are your thoughts? "Slow is Fast - Fast is Slow" |

If he makes it to Canada he'll probably be fine as long as he doesnt mind staying there forever. 3 mandatory tours all because some other deuche bag managed to steal victory from the jaws of defeat in Iraq....wow. The world certainly knows i am not a fan of deserters, but, i dunno, 3 mandatory tours...i can certainly sympathize with someone not wanting to be jammed up like that. Ifin' i'm not mistaken during 'Nam they could only send you on one mandatory tour. When you sit back and consider what it takes to make a militant prick like me sympathize with a deserter it kind of brings into focus just how badly this war has been fucked up by the idiots in charge at <b>DoD.</b> This war is a how-to in how <b><i>not</i></b> to. <img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/m21sniper/RecoverAgentWIDEsmall.jpg" border=0> <font color=yellow><i><b>"One way or another, your car is coming with me."</b></i></font id=yellow> |
