See that big rock over there? We need turned into little rocks.
Canada is set to deport in June the first of possibly hundreds of American soldiers who sought asylum to avoid military duty in Iraq, a group backing the US deserters said Wednesday.
Corey Glass, 25, came to Canada in August 2006 after serving in Iraq as a military intelligence sergeant.
Authorities told him on Wednesday that his application to stay in Canada was rejected and he would be deported in early June, a spokeswoman for the War Resisters Support Campaign told AFP.
According to the group, several hundred Iraq War resisters are currently in Canada, many of them living underground. Glass would be the first of them to be deported, it said.
“This goes against Canada’s tradition of welcoming Americans who disagree with policies like slavery and the Vietnam War,” said Lee Zaslofsky, a War Resisters Support Campaign coordinator.
Here’s a hammer. Hop to it.
Sadly, like his seeming mentor, Jimmeh Cahtah, if Obama wins the executive office, he will most likely pardon each one of these deserters.
And then invite them over to the White House so that he can appoint them to an ambassadorship.
I had a lot more sympathy for draft dodgers during Vietnam, but these guys…
I can respect their decision to not fight, but I can not respect their cowardice at fleeing. They joined the military willingly, they took the oath, they signed the papers, they got the training and benefits, and going to fight in a war is one of the things you are required to do, whether you agree with the war or not.
If you don’t want to fight, fine, then you stand and suffer the penalty for refusing a lawful order. At least you can still maintain some honor.
Turning the big ones into little ones in that Red Hot Kansas Sun. But then again, we do have a lot of Tornadoes!!!!!!!!!!!
Stake him out waiting for an EF5.
