[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2527577, member: 24459"] Listen to most of you guys.....charge him with this...charge him with that...hes a deserter, hes a traitor, no a defector. What did his very well trained and informed chain of command do or say? Did they write him up or charge him with anything in the last 5 years? If he did something wrong they would have started and concluded any charge 5 years ago. If youve been in the military and understand or remember how the discipline system works, it goes like this. You screw up or get accused of screwing up, your squad leader or if in the Navy a POIC, writes up some kind of infraction report. Then a Platoon SGT or CPO gets involved, then maybe a company commander then maybe XO or CO, then further up the chain to Battallion or Brigade.....there would be a huge paper trail. Especially for something like this. Early on in this war, kidnappings were fairly common, esp in the northern parts of the country. Company Commanders were even given lots of cash on hand to pay the ransom n get our guys back. There were even some rumors n whispers that some soldiers would go into town, get captured and split the ransom...... This whole story reaks with amateur propaganda. [/QUOTE]
