I'd like to see the pathetic audiance, cheering for this prick; they probably are mother's of anchor babies, looking for free benefits like all these deserters, join for the benefits, but refuse to do the job... Worst part of it, none , or minor %, actually get punished. I seen 1 guy walk away with full benefits and pay......and the slimely bastards are proud.

This is a perfect example of someone who "joins" the military for selfish reasons like money for college assuming that they would never never have to pick up a rifle for any reason other than qualification at the range. Enlisting is a selfless act for your country regardless of your politcal stance or biases. Every Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine, commissioned or not, should always assume that they may go to war during their tour..maybe more than once, even if they join durin peace time.

Im going to let you talk to yourself again for another couple of months okay.

I have better things to do anyway than look on youtube.

How many times do I have to tell you, I have had a steady Government job for well over a year now making 15.75 per hr. I have not been involved with the anti war movement for over a year and a half now, However I still talk to them too.

And for your information I am the ONLY resister here that has won my case in court and have Permanent residence here.

Why would I go back to the states anyway?

Oh yeah so I can make 5.50 an hr right? and fall into the recession like you.

Kyle, you have told so many lies you have forgotten what you have said.

"He was told that instead of doing construction work, his unit had been reassigned and would now do patrols with 50-calibre guns. Snyder got just four weeks' worth of training on how to use the guns"

Forget about that?

I have more stuff you seem to have "forgotten"...

You are just trying to forget that you are a coward.

Quit begging the anti-war movement for money.

Turn yourself in Kyle.

Get over it James.

Do you have nothing better to do with your time??

Can you tell me exactly where I said I did house to house patrols in this thread. or any other thread for that matter?

Did you still need the e mails of the people I left. or how about you give me an address so I can send you some recent photos of me with them here in Canada.

Not everyone is a Pumped up War Monger like you.

According to Sgt. Dennis Hughes 94th Engineering Battalion, at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Kyle Snyder never did half the things he has clamed here.

No report was made, his unit never did any house to house patrols -- it's a lie.

Though he clams he has evidence he refuses to produce it.

Kyle is not only an Army deserter, Kyle Snyder has lied to the anti-war movement, to sooth the guilt he feels for not only running away from his Army brothers but his American family and his country.

I'm proud of you..Stand up!!!!

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!
