Video of the day | American Soldier Seeks German Asylum

[TheCrazyFinn]

How does he not know the difference between machine gun and autocannon?

[54m4rV1ll4]

FUCKING TRAITOR ! STAY IN FUCKING GERMANY TRAITOR!

[55amsic]

HE IN BIG BIG SHIT NOW

[TH7596]

@DeathToLiberalism You didn't serve shit bitch, all my brothers got respect for germans and europeans because they've done tours with them.

[DeathToLiberalism]

@TH7596 Hey Jagoff, I did 4 in the Corps, served 9 months in Operation Desert Shield/Storm. You don't know jack shit.

[DeathToLiberalism]

If he had any courage he would have come home to face the charges against him. He took an oath, he knew he could be sent to war. If he wanted to turn into a spineless European hippy he should have had the honor to come face the music and stand up for what he believed in front of a military court. Fuck you cowardly, candy ass Euro-pussies.

[TH7596]

@DeathToLiberalism Look at the big man on the internet talking shit.

[wipwebster]

@DeathToLiberalism are you a caveman?

[clockworkorange1986]

Unfortunately his asylum application was denied this past April. I hope he finds a home! I wish him the best.

[alphatotheomega7]

I love this guy. He reveals the only kind of Americans that should be allowed into Germany's borders. Kick all those damn soldiers out and stop sucking NATO's dick, Germany!

[uddoss]

i admire andre shepherd..he follows his conscience..i hope everythings turns out good for him..he is doing the right thing..we need more people of his kind in this world..

[alexofwin]

Is this guy serious? According to the lady he is a mechanic (Or was one) On a combat helicopter, with no deployment to Iraq, I can understand a deployment maybe and seeing some real things outside the wire but this guy has no room to talk! I'm glad he got denied, he should pay the army back the training they gave him (Which is very lucrative outside the military) ...

[renodudes]

i do not blame him for staying in germany; homeless veteran is a all time high in america; least he get 40 euros; to live ; i hope that assylum comes with a german

passport; because he can"t get one in american.

[bluntress]

Today April 5, 2011 Germany denied him assylum

[TsalagiAgvnage]

stupid. He should have chosen another country. Even so, he should have gone about it another way if he did not agree with it, I would never say he is unpatriotic. I myself don't want to live there. but I love my country, which is why I don't go through with naturalization here in holland yet. Snd I am sure he loves it too, but when you disagree witha cause you should have some right to say no even if you are enlisted. they should have stationed him elsewhere, and he should have requested it.

[treygib09]

anyone know what happened to him this video was posted Mar. 6 2009 and he was suppose to get a visa in 2 weeks time? update please

[bigblackdyx]

Me think ma brotha here shoulda done somethin smart an' bail to an ENEMY country. Like this smart cat:

v=TsW2lZxwoO8

Even if dis foo DOES get asylum in Germany he be a Sargent McNobody , but if he bail to an ENEMY country he become a muthafuckin celebrity! DAYUM! Shoulda called senator bigblackdyx first!

[Lintflas]

Americans are ALWAYS welcome to Germany, so welcome Mr Shepherd!

[dj4monie]

@Lintflas I've always enjoyed my time in Germany and seriously considering become an expat.

[rixmits]

if you agree with this guy and your an American please join him in Germany because thats where you all belong! The war might be wrong but you joined the military knowing all too well you had to be deployed oversees. He did join after 9/11 so the "i had no idea i would have to fight"excuse does not work! He's a deserter and does not deserve his American Citizenship! Germany can have him.

[dj4monie]

@rixmits BS and as a Black Man in America that's not respected anyway and subject of less than stellar treatment by everybody including our own women, a African-American does not belong in the White Man's Armed Forces, PERIOD. It stopped being a noble cause as soon as WWII ended. The Military Industrial Complex calls the shots and says when we go to War now, not anybody else. Both current wars are illegal by the US Constitution you miss that point all together.

[Vydio]

@dj4monie I am sure he was aware of the fact he was black before enlisting.

[Lintflas]

@rixmits

Of course he had no idea, simply because the war in iraq went terribly wrong. Just take a look at the latest Wiki leaks news ;-)

and it was a war against international law with prohibited depleted uranium ammunition and 100.000 dead civilians.

With your stupid comment you're the only one around who doesn't deserve american citizenship. Patriotism doesn't mean to support every war crime your government commits like a blind idiot. Maybe he's the real patriot because he has conscience.

[jannikmt]

@rixmits ya we get all the level headed nongunho idiots....

[Sturmmann]

this guy is a fucking traitor who never even saw overseas deployment

[greygooseification]

I hope he at least learns to speak German.

How pathetic would it be if he sought asylum in Germany, and then expected Germans to cater to him in English forever because he's an American?

[mxer4]

@greygooseification

He does speak german now almost fluent

[greygooseification]

Do you correspond with him? How do you know?

[mxer4]

@greygooseification yep...hes married to a german women as well so even if his asylum visa gets rejected he can still get a marriage visa :)

[greygooseification]

You didn't answer my question.

Do you correspond with him? How do you know?

[mxer4]

@greygooseification

Again i said yes ....thats how i know

[greygooseification]

I'm going to call your bluff right there. At this point, you are likely saying what you want me to hear.

I don't think you really know him.

[mxer4]

@greygooseification whatever dude im obviously not going to have any personal gain by claiming to know him or not

[kaching012]

at 4:00 the translator is lying!!

the politican says the war in iraq is illegal!!

[fischkopp1234]

The two weeks are over. How did it turn out?

[fischkopp1234]

I just looked a little bit into it and found out, that in the US there appears to be a considerable number of people, who wish for him to face the death penalty. That somehow reminds me of the mindset the people in Germany had in the Third Reich.

I swear, the best thing in my life was NOT to be born in the US.

[DeathToLiberalism]

@fischkopp1234 And we're glad you weren't born here either!

[c4gray]

Yeah, I second that. What happened?

[Sturmmann]

@jisangNY1

yea right

shitty gun laws and an apologetic people

[samanthaspark]

Andre', You have done the right thing. You entered the service with the honorable and noble belief that our country was helping Iraquis, just like our brave soldiers in WWII helped the displaced in Europe. Many young men and women and, in fact, our entire country, were lead into the situation in Iraq without all of the facts. God Bless You. Stand strong and continue to hold firm to what you believe - in human dignity.

[y3puGnxg]

He has done the absolute right thing. May be US leaders forgot the Nuremberg trials in which all the supposed Nazi leaders, generals and soldiers were executed for violating the international law and crimes against humanity. Every person has to act as per their consciousness. He has it but many don't and didn't. As per the NT, waging war and agression against other countries is a major crime for which many are executed. GW Bush and HM's rep. T Blair should be the next. only god will answer

[trottgordonchris]

learn to write english first if you'd like to insult me.!! Thank god for people like my son, oh, and by the way I'm german and I can't stand people like you have a nice day

[trottgordonchris]

My son was fighting in iraq and i am proud of him, this guy is a traitor and i hope they will kick his ass back to the us

[antoshahorosha]

Hes not a traitor, I wouldn't blame him for doing what he did, its just an insane issue, the USA couldn't find anyone else to fight in the Midddle-East so they threw themselves in.

[ron7006]

this is a good video to share!!!

[Gr8tCompany]

viel gluck!

[tinramm]

you have my support!
