[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2527550, member: 26737"] When does AWOL become desertion? If you go AWOL and get captured, does that mean that you are a deserter, or are you just a world-class dumbass? I have a friend who's a former Marine; he talked about sneaking down to TJ without a pass while he was stationed in San Diego after Desert Storm. If he'd gotten arrested in TJ, I'm sure that could've been considered desertion, too, but he wasn't even charged with being AWOL simply because of the circumstances (we was getting out the next day). I'm not saying he's not (at the very least) a deserter or a defector, just that not all of the facts are in yet. ETA--if he really did go out seeking the Taliban to give them info, then he should get a right fair trial followed by a first-class hanging; let's just not be putting the sentencing before the trial.
