Face it, folks - the boy is the ideal candidate for fragging ... end of story.



all the more reason to allow him a discharge,,,without prejudice,, because such PATRIOTS which he depends upon to have his back have such outward bigotry as to cause him harm,,,


Why should they have his back when the first chance he gets he will screw them?

Can't claim bigotry without all the facts.

So far, it's just his whiny side of the story.

But, then, bigotry is a fun word for those who have no legitimate claims.laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh


All the facts? He's a coward, he doesn't wanna go to war because he doesn't wanna die. Tough $hit, shouldn't have enlisted during the middle of two wars. Then on top of that shouldn't have gone Airbourne knowing they are killing machines.

He just decided to use his religion as a front, and it backfired on his stupid a$$.

I wanna see him tried and jailed and locked in with bubba and made to eat three squares a day of pork.

Several times I've read the word bigotry...I'm certain there is a person or two who lacks the understanding of what that word means. Bigotry....was our towers being attacked. Bigotry.....was the celebration in the middle east that followed the attack. Bigotry....is what made them attack civilians....not having the sand to attack the military arm. Bigotry....is the lawlessness committed on their behalf. Was it bigotry to imprison the Japanese after Pearl Harbour? No!, It was security, a security which has not been implemented yet in this case? Have we not been gracious? Have we not tried to help? The floods in Pakistan, the disasters in Haiti...


As for the traitor soldier, he can't desert to Canada, we wont take him. Traitors, and mutineers...what was the term?? frag?????

The article said he is seeking CO status but that he would probably refuse to deploy if his CO status is denied.

from the Wiki

"A 1971 United States Supreme Court decision, Gillette v. United States, broadened U.S. rules beyond religious belief but denied the inclusion of objections to specific wars as grounds for conscientious objection.[40]

Currently, the U.S. Selective Service System states, "Beliefs which qualify a registrant for conscientious objector status may be religious in nature, but don't have to be. Beliefs may be moral or ethical; however, a man's reasons for not wanting to participate in a war must not be based on politics, expediency, or self-interest. In general, the man's lifestyle prior to making his claim must reflect his current claims."[41] In the US, this applies to primary claims, that is, those filed on initial SSS registration. On the other hand, those who apply after either having registered without filing, and/or having attempted or effected a deferral, are specifically required to demonstrate a discrete and documented change in belief, including a precipitant, that converted a non-CO to a CO. The male reference is due to the current "male only" basis for conscription in the United States.

In the United States, there are two main criteria for classification as a conscientious objector. First, the objector must be opposed to war in any form, Gillette v. United States, 401 U.S. 437. Second, the objection must be sincere, Witmer v. United States, 348 U.S. 375. That he must show that this opposition is based upon religious training and belief was no longer a criterion after cases broadened it to include non-religious moral belief, United States v. Seeger, 380 U.S. 163 and Welsh v. United States, 398 U.S. 333. COs willing to perform non-combatant military functions are classed 1-A-O by the U.S.; those unwilling to serve at all are 1-O."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscientious_objector#United_States

"Desmond Doss was the first of three conscientious objectors who agreed to serve in the US military in non-combatant roles and were subsequently awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration"





well, I hope he obtains non combatant position if worse comes to worse,,shame to force him to die for something he doesnt believe in,,,,,
then he should have thought of that before he signed the papers...



lots of things young folks SHOULD think of that they dont,, still no reason to force them to go die for something they dont believe in or support

yes it does...it's not like he didn't know what airborne is or what they do...just because he is a coward doesn't mean that the army has to waste all the money they spent training him. just on of the many problems to look forward to with letting cupcakes in the military.

Yup and I remember President Geroge W. Bush was one of the first to offer help and contact the leader of Haiti to offer his condolonces.

Actuallt on 9/11 did attack a military target, the Pentagon, but they didn't have the balls to attack a military target that could F them up though.

Yes we are bigots...DING DING DING... Tell him what he's won Bob!!! Ok....Did we drive several planes in to important Muslim buildings? No! Do you see us strapping TNT to our chests, screaming ayayayayayayayayayayeeeee then boom!!!??? No! We don not attack innocent people, and If wanting to protect my homeland, and those of our allies makes me a bigot, then that is a title I will proudly carry. However, my advice first, is to look up what the word bigot means in the English dictionary. A bigot is someone who hates for nothing. In case you havn't noticed big guy there are several reasons as to why North America and Europe are soooooo pissed. Some towers? some subway transit systems? The pentagon maybe?? Hang on, I'll be right back, I'm gonna run to the store to grab tome construction paper and crayons......

so why haven't every 2.3 billion of us attacked you? If what you say is true, we would all be terrorizing you. Do you think your joke of a security, even more joke of a military, or law enforcement is really keeping us from attacking you? No. Believe what you want about us, more and more of us are becoming radicalized simply because of people like you. get yourself educated.

lol i guess that's why you haven't been able to stabalize two countries and it's been how many years???? bring Iran into the mix and you and your prescious Israel will be decimated. You couldn't even defeat the Japanese. It took nuking innocent civilians to get a surrender because you were out matched. You need to stop worrying about muslims and worry about the real nations that hate you.

Because even though there is 2.3 billion of you, you wouldn't stand a chance in war with the western and democratic powers. In case you haven't noticed, war is like chess, the globe is the board, and the armies are the pieces, look at the positional advantages of us first, two, we have WAY more bombs and jet etc. 3....2 billion people ( one third the worlds pop) can not defeat the remaining 4 billion. ( two thirds) Maybe you should educate yourself there big fellow. Let's talk military attacks big boy...any day you are ready. Why haven't we nuked you? Because we are not bigots!! If we wanted these countries completely destroyed, it could've been done at any time, at our whim. Uneducated remarks like this make me laugh. For someone who hates these people so much, you sure do seem to enjoy the luxuries here that are not offered over there. Do we really want to get this started? Nobody is keeping you here, what is the saying, America, love it or leave it?? Something of that sort yes?? Now shhhh!!!

that seems to be a theme with the muslims... always someone else's fault... don't take any responsibility for your own actions. do muslims ever stop to think that maybe it's their actions that are the problem?
