I agree. As hard as it is because I sympathize with him, I have to that he should be court martialed. If you are in theatre, I think it is too late for you to decide whether you fight or not. We cant have soldiers leave combat, it lowers morale and its a security issue. But I do applaud his morals. He saw things he didnt like and he doesnt want to take part in it anymore. He knows the punishment for desertion and he should just face the music.

He shouldn't have joined the military if he wasn't prepared to fight, whether he believed in the cause or not. Thousands of dollars were paid to train and supply this guy, but he shrinks away when called upon to do his job? He deserves the desertion charge.

He didn't sign up for this. Besides all soldiers have the right to question orders. He is simply exercising that. Hell If I had to do what the soldiers are beign forced to do i would be pretty pissed as well.

this reminds me of the doctor guy who wouldn't give some teenager some over the counter abortion stuff. Granted they have the right to object to it, and god bless this country for giving them the option, but it's also his job to be a soldier. It's quite an odd position to be in, to say the least.

Good for him. He actually has a mind of his own.

he should not have deserted; can't he file for discharge or transfer to non-combat or stateside unit if hes a "conchi"?
