Peace Through Conviction Award to US Deserter (deu. eng.)

At the 44th Munich Security Conference in February, 2008, NATO awarded a Canadian soldier who had fought in southern Afghanistan the so-called "Peace Through Dialogue Medal." But the 7000 demonstrators against the Conference applauded the "Peace through Conviction" award given by Munich American Peace Committee
to US Iraq war veteran, Chris Capps, who deserted from the US base in Darmstadt, Germany, to avoid being deployed to Afghanistan. (Chris did not go to jail! GIs call GI Rights Hotline: (00)1-510-535-1104!)

Fucking fag!

[nastynik123]

Its one thing of being a coward and running away but this man didn't run away in fear, he ran away because he is appalled at how these wars are just so easily declared and kills millions but the politicians that start them sit behind their desks not batting an eye lash at how many lives they've ruined. This man is a true hero, he isn't a man of a nation, he a man with integrety which more people now a days lack.
