AWOL in Canada: Man is convinced he made the right decision

[AllTweakendLong]

That bitch is fucking stupid. Sorry bitch ain't no one is going to leavenworth for desertion. And for anyone else saying deserters are cowards, fuck you! You're all a bunch of fucking ignorant pussy retards that apparently doesn't understand the 'oath to the constitution' all service members take.

[starviego]

Ah yes, the ol' "don't want to serve on the front lines" clause. Now that is my kind of Army!!

[TheBosnianFlow]

i saw another video of this guy, he said that their "dental plan" and 'medicare' were horrifying.

he was to be sent to serve in iraq with two broken vertebrae, and they took nine of his teeth out by shoving a screwdriver into his cavity and twisted it until the tooth shattered. they broke his jaw twice in the procedure. then he found out that if he was to walk in a street with hundreds of civilians and only one was to fire at them, they had to kill everybody there. i don't think he is a coward.

[kris13119]

I spoke to a "deserter" personally, and I think he summed it up well... he said "I willingly offered myself on the sacrificial altar of war in Iraq, in the name of freedom. We later found out we were decieved! The horrors i've witnessed have burned a hole in my soul... I've watched so many of my comrads come back broken, or not at all. The bigest insult is the very people I vowed to protect failed to protect us from a corrupt government... now over 5,000 of us are dead, and for what??"

[westernoutlaw]

This dude on the tube is the Fraud! Go home Yankee Coward!

[westernoutlaw]

Please get this piece of shit deported! What a disgraceful human being! Come-on Harper, deal with this! Why these undesireables be treated better than our men and women serving for our Royal Military?

[xcesar4impx666]

this guy should of apply at McDonald

[xcesar4impx666]

this guys is a pussy, that wanted money and a check ,and didnt wanted to fight, pussy !!!!!

[joejoemorgan]

what a pussy

[MizzShady]

As far as I understand it if you get busted for something all it takes is you finding one case thats just like yours is where that person got off and they cant charge you. I agree with that girl you should never go awol but if former president bush can do it you can too. Alex Jones has his military records. Watch this vid Skull and Bones Exposed with Alex Jones 5/5. Whats fair is far.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

I don't agree to my contract and am not gonna go and it's not right so I deserve for the Canadian government to give me the rights of legal immigrants or Canadian citizens...I've been here fighting and struggling...that maybe so but YOU DON"T DESERVE to get status in Canada.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

Sad part is if they are allowed to stay here, members of the Canadian Forces protect them and DEPLOY when they get orders to do so. I wonder what they think when they walk past a Canadian Solider, Airman/woman or Sailor? Guess what non combat troops go war serve along side combat arm troops and in some cases are wounded or killed....No job in theater is easy. Glad to see that most members are grown up enough to realize they can go to war and DEPLOY!

[westernoutlaw]

@NovaScotiaNewfie

Well said!

[sprylama]

America is a joke of a country , i can't wait to leave this shit country .

[Vydio]

@sprylama Please tell us you've gone, and shall never return.

[sprylama]

@Vydio Sorry to break it to you princess , but i am still in this shithole country , i am here to take care of my sick mother .

[Vydio]

@sprylama P lease leave, and take her with you. I'm sure the medical care will be superior elsewhere.

 Try Canada.

[sprylama]

@Vydio Well yes , i ca'nt get care for her here , so i have no choice , i have to somewhere else , any care is better than no care.

[JTMondal]

4:20 You signed a fucking contract!6:38 I love that woman!

[JTMondal]

4:20 You signed a fucking contract!!

[JTMondal]

why join in the first place?

[fetalembryo]

Fuckin hippie. He signed the papers.

[TheInternetWanderer]

@LWFT3 - He is in America, just not in the U.S. Canada, Mexico, Greenland etc, all part of America.

[TheInternetWanderer]

Elizabeth’s argument is asinine. He should die because others died. WTF

[Shrunkenhead61]

Well, see, I joined cause I wanted to be "the best of the best". I have to admit, for me, training was more on my mind and protecting united states. 9-11 pissed me off but I started seeing truths.

I think he has some validity... especially libya. He also signed up on the pretense he wont be on the war front. The girl has to realize, though, this man's actions wouldn't have changed the outcome of those that died. She is almost blaming this guy for the death of someone else who choose to sign up.

[VenVile]

I'm sorry to say that the girl interviewed, the one crying at the end, is an idiot!

[batflies]

good for him, we should all be able to live as we feel.

[lovejen01]

@batflies you got be kidding me, this a-hole made a choice to join, another thing is when are in the military you go were order to go. It is in the regulation it his for his fault not following orders and not having any sense. In time of war it is expected too see combat regardless what you job is in the service.

[grantsfaith]

Good for you CPL. K. You are braver than this coward claiming 'oh poor poor me'>

[billdiana]

YOU SAID IT BEST, SIR!

[crazymarine1991]

Im going to marine boot camp in less than 5 months and will be happy to serve cuss of who i am my uncle has ptsd way bad and i know what it can do to you but i dont care im doing it.LOL Ryan look like an old friend of mine

LOL no lie but its not

[duneranger]

So why did you pick the army? Coast Guard didn't cross your mind? You are an idiot.

[hsc87]

@duneranger thats what i mean. obviously you play in the BS factor at the recruiting center. (they just want the numbers in). why army really? why not navy or airforce? coast guard?

Well, I blame the parents really..... for raising a child to not reason and lip off demanding his rights when he feels that he's being cornered. hmmm 'rights' is something that we(western nations) are fighting to keep. Ironic. he really should have gone over seas.

[duneranger]

@hsc87 Honestly, it's not that hard to fact check recruiters, research military life on the net and ask for evidence. Hell, is it really that hard to read your whole contract? If you sign on in 2011 where the fuck do you think you will go (esp w/ army/marines)? People who go AWOL were either in a drug-induced dazed or partially retarded when they signed up...or more likely wanted the benefits w/o the deployment.

[Shrunkenhead61]

@duneranger I wouldn't generalize all who go AWOL. It is true though you kind of should expect going especially during a time of war, you get a ribbon for doing so. Some that go AWOL their principle and morality of what's going on really starts hitting them. For me, I was affected by 9-11 but seeing hailburton and blackwater (Cheney's the CEO) going in there. A lot of the mess, I can't help but have some sympathy. These wars are creating enemies. I want to protect not entice.

[Xtrakk]

I agree with the guy. He is not a coward. At least he attempted to do something for his country. The girl cries and cries. If u wanna serve ur country go ahead. If u dont then dont. Its not for everyone. Its like a new job u take and then realize its not for u and then u quit. Well thats what he did. Even though he is a drop out(bumm). Yes the recruiters lie and we all know that. Some people cant handle that type of work. U wont know if u like until u try it.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

@Xtrakk My problem with the guy is he think he's owed something by Canada that's what irks me. He's not fleeing a country where his life is in danger or there is civil war he thinks because he shouldn't go to jail that's a valid reason for my country to feel sorry for him. This isn't nam he was forced to sign up So our court system shouldn't have to deal with this issue.

[barlog20]

This war was a fraud anyway.And the recruiter lied to him.I remember hearing years ago that the recruiters be lying about the benefits you get also.

[karr1111]

The military is not for everyone. They warned you that you might have to go to war I know they warned me. If you don't want to risk going to war then don't go in the military thats common sense.

[savvy1954]

It's NOT the military recruiters, IT IS THE ARMY RECRUITERS! THEY ARE GIVING THE OTHER MILITARY BRANCHES A BAD NAME.

[fia416]

Its your life!! How many people quit there job? A lot this guys job had a chance of Death! His job was to go into Iraq and kill innocent people. Please people he isn't a coward, he just doesn't want to fight.

ust let him be

[EnglishCanadian1]

He should have joined the Navy. No problem.

[gruntshit]

He quit highschool.He quit the Army.He quit his country.He doesn't consider himself a coward?He runs when ever something gets to be too tough.

[beercamp2004]

you sign up, you suck it up.

[brutalsun]

Lesson ladies... never trust your recruiter. They all lie.

You were trained to fire a myriad of weapons.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

Even if you're not combat arms, you can be deployed to a war zone. You're a solider first and have to realize that you may have to pick up a weapon.

[carson1872]

He shouldnt have been looking for a support job in the Army. He should have been looking for a support branch in the military. Thank god i joind the Air Force. =)

[astrogodzilla]

Thats what happens when the military lowers its standards and accepts dropouts.

[astrogodzilla]

High school drop out, now a military drop out. What next?

[savannahrosewood]

okay after watching this, this guy is a tool..

its different when you go to iraq and you cant live with yourself..

not when you want to sign up with "conditions"

[savannahrosewood]

how can you people put these men down for standing up for what they believe in??

that's horrible..

until you have been in this situation then you have no idea..pure and simple

[James92802]

All solders understand that one of the most courageous acts anyone in the Armed Forces can complete is to tell an Officer, "No Sir, I wil not". If justified, history has honored those with such courage. Many only have the respect of those they fought with, some have been jailed, some later justified. In 1998 three soldiers were awarded with medals for their intervention in the My Lai Massacre, it took 30 years!

Not one ran to Canada. Turn yourself in!

[darkgreen0311]

Coward plain and simple!!!

[RgSchmitt]

No..He was fooled by the recruiter

[carson1872]

we were all fooled by our recruiters lol.

Thats why we do our own research. I grew up Air Force brat so i knew what i was signing up for. Sitting behind a computer desk 8 hours a day learning a real skill.

[aaronharms123456]

No such thing as a coward in war. That word doesnt mean a thing in those circumstances. Anyone who bands around the word coward obviuosly knows nothing of violence and fear. Shouldnt be punishing people. In my country we executed dozens of young men in the great war who had shell shock. Men who no longer had the mental endurance to the stress of the battlefront.

[820423]

Now, Im from Sweden, so please bare with me for a second. And I appologize if anyone feels like Im intruding, with my oblivious ignorance concerning circumstances.

But if the United States Army is voluntary, along with the possible fact(?) of the army recruiter telling him things that obviously was in direct conflict with the contract itself, whats the problem?

The guy doesnt want to go.

[ryerye76]

You're right the Army is voluntary but you sign a contract for a certain amount of yrs. You can't wake up one day and decide to quit. Even IF the recruiter told him these things he should've done his homework. I doubt the recruiter told him he wouldn't have to go to Iraq. He's joing the Army. The job of the Army is war! The guy is a coward and a loser. Stay in Canada with the rest of the pussies! For those that tell me to join, too late been in the Army since 1995!

[MyhardPwner]

He was AWOL, so fuckin what

[SobmiJ]

I can,t blame anybody for wanting to live that fucker would have died for sure and that chick shes all the better for going their now isn't she? No nightmares for her but she's not a fucking coward. Me I'll take being the coward, i'd sleep better at night.

[JimB667]

You know what, theres always talk about the US being the good guys and defending freedoms and morals, when they're basically just fucking mercenaries, get over yourselves.

[vpbubbies]

there are many Canadians, (Like myself) who want to go to Iraq and do their part. Yet our government doesnt wish us to go there. I'd be more then willing to go in the US army for training, then to Iraq under the name of an American who wishes to reside in canada for the duration of "my/his tour" Once "my/His" tour is over, he can then go back to the usa and me back to Canada, nobody would be the wiser. Thjere are many who would do the same here in Canada.

Any takers?????

thoughts????

[enmaxlineman]

I think you should maybe move to United States and live your dream

[ssuperr1515]

you americans keep thinkin that and well keep lettin them in

[FUACLU]

This is most awkward to me. The girls is crying talking about guys not coming home and dying. The former soldier didn't want to die and never see his wife again so went AWOL so the girl things that he should go to prison for the rest of his life for what... not dying? It is more than clear that the girl had a tramatic experience there, so did I. But this is a voluntary military.

[unoitall]

She suffers from the combination of anger and helplessness, but it is easier for her to release this anger upon this young man instead of the N.W.O. puppets, who created the trauma.

[buffaloSabrespommy]

coward hahahahah wow the funny thing is he went to basic at fort jackson which means he did not have a combat job he wasnt infantry he was a supply clerk? you never move out of the FOB which is a safe area to be in he would have never taken fire hes a huge coward he dropped out of high school and he went awol coward pussbag

[BigxWill83]

Oh,he can´t support an ilegal war and go to iraq?! Well when he signed up it seemed to be ok for him serving an injust military as long as he would´t be the one on the front line! Now this is a true coward with no backbone!

[James92802]

All solders understand that one of the most courageous acts anyone in the Armed Forces can complete is to tell an Officer, "No Sir, I wil not". If justified, history has honored those with such courage. Many only have the respect of those they fought with, some have been jailed, some later justified. In 1998 three soldiers were awarded with medals for their intervention in the My Lai Massacre, it took 30 years!

Not one ran to Canada. Turn yourself in!

[goon6942069]

get out of canada! we don't want you!

[GypsyViolet80]

In my opinion he is not a coward, he's got brains if you ask me.

I don't know which aspect I respect more :

1. that he deserted, or

2. that he headed out of such a fucked up country like america...

good luck to you and your wife

[rasagandan]

Prison???? You should be shot.

[michaelagh]

Hang in there boy...this is an illegal war..and i stand by you!

You did the right thing...its going to be hard, but hold your head up, these people with their nasty comments are just miss informed about whats going on over there, and if they had been in iraq lucked out. Your lucky you ran, you would prob be dead in the back of the humV if you stayed!

Your wife must be so proud of u!

[KBAR0341]

Get a clue kid. I volunteered just like this coward. The difference between this coward and I is that when Desert Storm came up I went and when Iraq happened I went. I went because I voluteered to be in the service and I knew full well as did this coward what military service is about. You don't get to choose your battles and if you join the military thinking you won't see combat you're a total fool and in this guy's case instead of being a soldier and doing his job he ran like a coward.

[candipill]

conscience is a GOOD thing!!! But what would you know about that?

[SFShooter01]

They run because they are fucking COWARDS!!! They have the right not to fucking join!!! Im getting fucking tired of all these AWOL COWARDS saying they joined just to get a job, and insurance and school!!! They idiots know that Soldiers go to war when needed!! The COWARDS should be shot when found, or imprisoned!!! Yes they have the right to refuse to engage in combat, but they also will have to imprisoned!!! COWARDS

[homanalooga]

Why come to Canada, we don't want you, go to Mexico!!!

[Chumsly]

I can sympathize with Draft Dodgers from the Vietnam War era that fled from the US since they didn't have a choice. But this is an all-volunteer military now. No one forced them to sign the contract and swear the oath at MEPS. He had access to the internet before joining the military. He should have researched on his own if he thinks the military was for him or not before stepping into the recruiters' office.

[goon6942069]

i live in canada and i say get the hell out of here. always read everything you sign.

[msdenisewalker]

he is not a coward they lied to him and said he wounld't have to go why go and die for nothing.just because everybody else is stupid doesn;t mean he has to be too.

[Bacardi4206]

saintrambone, Canada is no where near as corrupt as the American Government. Infact if you could provide evidence of that, I would give you 200 dollars right now lol. If you can't prove that, keep your arrogant assumtions to yourself or express them to Ann Coulter as new material.

[dewege77]

you can keep your 200 cause canada is way better. i'm 5 minutes from canada.

[wuerrang]

All refugee claims have been denied in Canada. It looks like these guys have to face the music pretty soon. The fun is over.

[solobozo]

Sorry pal, it's an all volenteer army you JOINED. You bought the ticket so take the ride.

[thevolpster]

Your a FUCKING COWARD. You belong in Jail for the Rest of your life

[pbnseatbelts]

what a coward, all he is is a freeloader looking for the government to pay his way through life without giving anything back.

[xchanxzenx]

Go to Mexico!

[Zobor111]

Mexico wont take Americans at all, but America has to take them and they get handouts galore while our own dont. I will not fight for some worthless 3rd world country, rather we should run out the ones that do not belong here.

[saintrambone]

I advise people to beware in Canada. they are as corrupt as the American government. The US government injects and tortures Americans. Let us hope for global war. There is no hope and even pensions are stolen through collusion. Mobile Audit Club, search for it online.

[TRyrEaDtHiS]

I agree with you raultalbot7, Im sick of having deserting cowards in our country.

[bluenosedive]

the war is wrong no matter how you look at it

[raultalbot7]

Note to the US:

Thanks, but no thanks. We Canadians are tired of you sending us your trash. We are still suffering from the 50,000 cowards you sent us during the Vietnam war. We've had enough...we don't want them, we don't need them. Cowards are a dime a dozen in any country.
