Canada Deports US Soldier Who Fled To Avoid War In Iraq

you can run but you can't hide.

Cowards and traitors! You enlist to get the benefits and paid education but when you get called to do EXACTLY WHAT YOUR JOB IS you run like a chicken s**t! At best as a deserter you should get 20 years!

That's right Mark… I don't' think 20 years but a good 1-2 years would prove the point…

We should not be in Iraq in the first place. Those have done nothing to us and they are even close to being a threat to our way of life. She is not a coward nor is she a traitor. She does not want to kill other human beings like her or be killed. She should never signed up for this.

I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING BACK THE FIRING SQUAD.

I did 5 tours in Iraq and they run after no tours or one? Are you kidding? SMH!

Wow looking at her picture she physically unfit for duty. Extremely overweight. I hope they throw the book at her. I just went over 33 years int eh service and have never tried to geet out of anything the Army has asked of me. I knew what I signed up for when I took the oath. She is nothing but a traitor and a coward and I applaud CANADA for not letting her stay.

Exactly, SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER SIGNED UP if she can't do the job. BUT SHE DID SIGN UP, and now wants to run, glad they are sending her back and now she can spend some time in Missouri, in a nice cell. Good lession for her and her children….

why the heck did she enlist? oh, you enjoy the money and the benefits, instead of cleaning toilets with 6$/hr…but when this country needs you, you just run.

If you don't want to go to war, don't join the military. It's not hard. In previous centuries, deserters were executed for treason.

You are a disgrace to every woman who has served in any branch! I would have gladly laid down my life for my country and you run from your commitment, you make me SICK! I sincerely hope you see jail time and I have no sympathy for you or any other deserter because that is exactly what you are you piece of fat garbage!

She betrayed her country her fellow soldiers and the branch she worked on. And for your information the military UCMJ gives the soldier the right to declare his or herself to be contentious objector! But you have to do it before you are sent to combat duty what she did is shameful and disgusting. Not to say she is a coward all these things are shown to you before you accept the contract!Educate yourself before writing!

The firing squad still exists it depends on the AG that's persecuting and the judge that goes from full birds or generals

Thank you sir! As a veteran I appreciate the service of all of you!

She already went to Iraq. She served one more tour than most of you idiots calling her a traitor.

She volunteered for the Army and then when its time to do her duty she runs? I have no sympathy for her.

most people went more than once, plus you dont tell then military when you have been to war enough, they tell you. She fled when she had orders, that called being a deserter. I was a Marine, and Im not an idiot, and I dont consider her behavior to be fitting of a US Soldier no matter what you think is fair or not.

good, I applaud Canada.

too fat to fight. I say F the OIL WAR which was never declared by congress. Go AWOL. Most enlist because they are POOR due to the RICH outsourcing jobs. Mass refusal to go is the right thing to do. I think you people are typical unread Idiots who deserve to die in an Oil war. S for brains.

Wayne Conway Longwood University must be for the jelly beans.

Canada should never have allowed her in the 1st place. How would they feel if say they had military deserters come to the U.S.A. and we let them stay? But now that's neither here nor there so thanks Canada.

As a 3 tour Nam vet, 65 to 68, in the SEABEES & being wounded in 66 & 68 from rocket fire I am not impressed w/ this COWARD at all. I lost many good friends in Nam, had over 50 surgerys & weighed 108 lbs @ 6'3" & lost 452 men out of 750 in the last attack @ Dong Ha, when the ammo dump blew up next to us. Cowards are few & far between, let him rot in Leavenworth Federal Prison for a few decades.

your an idiot anthony, the fact that she has already done one tour still doesn't change the fact that she is a traitor. Please think before you type next time.

my friend went to iraq for the money is the money that good

With all respect mr. Pacheco where are you from I might be able to answer your question!

Sir, thank you for for your service to OUR country, but more important "Welcome Home". If they don't want to go to a war zone, then don't raise your right hand and take the oath. Where ever end up I hope it's worse than going to war.

why didn't you go and fight, girlfrien'

Jamie Mast I did girlfriend served in both the Marines and the Army is that not clear from the Tattoo I wear on my arm?

Brandy Gilman Carnes thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

she served one tour of duty. I know you're going to tell me you served so much more than that, and that is admirable, but not everyone can go through that kind of thing so many times. And for a war she probably didn't believe in? Probably made it that much harder.

A war she didn't believe in? It doesn't matter if you believe in it or not once you sign you are committed, you seem very young and perhaps you don't realize when you sign its a contract a legal commitment to serve your country there simply is no excuse for her running away from her duty!

I don't care how many tours she served she signed a contract Anthony and she failed to live up to her commitment and she ran! She is a coward!

you sir are an illiterate fuck!!

Give them a choice – for the exception of certain curcumstances – they can serve a year in irag or they can serve 2 years in prison – also when they are released from prison they can never apply nor receive anykind of goverment aid!

What in the hell has Canada been feeding our deserter?

I don't blame her..

get her out of there. I am a Canadain who joined the US Army during the Vietnam War. That flag is a disgrace..Looks like urine stains on it. Canada has enough undesirables in teh amount of muslims living there, than to have a bum like her.

OK, I agree with everyone that this lady needs to be prosecuted. I'm Navy and I'll tell you that if this woman is an Army solider we need to stop going to war because she looks out of shape and combined with her apparent unwillingness to fight countries are going to realize that we are much more vulnerable than we portray.

wHY DON'T YOU KEEP THE fUC*&^ dESERTING PIGLET AND HER FAMILY.

We call it Chicken Shit and don't want them back. What we don't want is a bunch of cowers in the USA that don't want to fight for our country. And yed I am from the Viet-Nam area war and we deal with AWOL as desertion. Stay away from our proud Country we don't want you back.

There is a far cry to running to Canada to avoid a draft you are opposed too and running to Canada to avoid a contract of service you legally signed…the US armed forces has been volunteer for 30 years so if you agree to serve it means in war and peace. One does not get to choose when they are deployed and if they want that they should never enlist.

Yes, when you enlist, you don't enlist and take an oath with your own reservations, and say – I will serve, but only when I agree with the military action.

agreed

Praing for akk the Judging..my my my let go of the hate in the heart

Last time I checked, there was not any draft in the USA arm forces. Which means that they enlisted on their own freen will. That also mean that once you did that you need to serve your country and should be proud of it Canadian are good people, sometime too good. I'm glad they are deporting her, this will send a message to our soldiers, sailors and airmen that once you choose this duty you must fullfil it.

I think that hanging is still the top punishment for deserter during time of war.

Thank you Matt. If I wasn't to old to go I would have fought along side you and the rest of the troops.

Out she goes, and I am proud of Canada – good / right decision.

SHOOT OR HANG,, EITHER ONE.

Luis R Soto ….persecuting???? That says it all right there.

Love is a wonderful thing and hate is bad, I don't hate anyone but I do know that this individual will never understand what it fully means to love one's country more than themselves, and who would lay their own life down for the sake of safegarding it. If you don't feel this way please don't enlist or if your already in get out you have no business serving! I may not always agree with my government's policies (I sure don't) but when I was active duty my personal opinion did not matter and my actions were those of obediance to orders and love and loyalty to my nation. Get over yourselves and grow up its NOT all about you, you, you little girl get out of my armed services!

Really so your one of those nuts who believes in what?

I think you should deport yourself to Canada you idiot!

You don't but many of us that serve or have served do! Jail time for her big ass!

You don't but many of us that serve or have served do! Jail time for her big ass!

Brandy, a lot of people will never understand the sacrifice done by service members or the creed we live by. I know we might not have agreed in everything at work but you earned my respect for your profecionalism and I thank God that I had US veterans working with me it made it a lot easier! I appreciate your service for our country and your family too. People if you don't know what's on the cooking pot don't talk. Only if you been there and weren't a coward will understand. Yes war is scary but you didn't sign up for senior prom. That is why you're given a rifle and not a tux. Don't think we're not shown videos of what's going to happen ifyou don't like it don't sign the contract but if you sign you made an oath a sacred one. To defend this country and follow the commands of your superiors. Which make me think that the one who is defending this traitor have problems with authority and probably challenged your parents cause you think you know more than them and everybody probably because you read some books or took some classes with some radical educator that washed your brain because that's what they do prey on young mines! You have to learn to be an american and don't take things for granted!

She was. Probably a cook!

So I'm judge because I didn't writhe prosecute. Ahhh what a narrow mind!

Your right Luis I miss those days in Quad 4 those were pretty damn good! And as I recall we agreed on everything that mattered!
