U.S. Soldier Denied Refugee Status in Canada

[frisco-kid]

I was sent to VN with the 3rd brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division in FEB68. About 75% of us had already done at least one tour. I never heard of 1 trooper running to Canada, to Mommy, or anywhere else. Like myself, this guy ENLISTED in the U.S. Army and VOLUNTEERED to be a U.S. Paratrooper. Like myself, he didn't have to like being re-deployed; and as a soldier, he DEFINATELY has the right to bitch about it. But like myself and a few thousand other guys, it's his job and DUTY to go where ever the Army sees fit to send you. That's what he signed up to do, PERIOD.

This guy should be made to finish out his time in the service at Ft. Bragg, doing EVERY dirty job shit-detail there is. While doing so, he should have to wear his jumpwings upside-down and have a sign on his back saying "I refused to go to Iraq; another paratrooper was sent in my place." Stay on the ground where all chickenshit stays. See how long he lives.
