Michelle Malkin also an article on AWOL and AINO (American in Name Only). The article details how Jeremy Hinzman as fled his post to Canada, objecting to the war in Iraq.
"Several others have followed Hinzman's trail, hoping Canada will buy into their sob stories. But by embracing our cowards, Canada undermines not only the war on terror but also its own asylum system. American deserters face neither execution nor persecution if returned to the United States. Just look at Petty Officer 3rd Class Pablo Paredes, who on Monday refused to board his Navy ship in protest of the war on Iraq.
Unlike Hinzman, Paredes is ready and willing to go to jail. After his release, Paredes is sure to get a book deal, a CBS made-for-TV movie, a party at Susan Sarandon's, and honorary Canadian citizenship -- if he doesn't apply for it himself first."
I don't have a problem with soldiers who disagree with a specfic conflict. It is their moral duty to listen to their conscience. I do have a problem with someone who refuses to face up to the consequences. I guess this Hinzman is afraid he might break a nail.
