EXCLUSIVE...AWOL US Soldier Seeks Asylum in Germany Over Returning to "Illegal" War in Iraq

A US soldier who went absent without leave a year and a half ago to avoid returning to Iraq has applied for asylum in Germany. Specialist Andre Shepherd served in Iraq between September 2004 and February 2005 as an Apache helicopter mechanic. When his unit was called up to return to Iraq in early 2007, he went AWOL to avoid redeployment, calling the war “illegal.” He lived underground in Germany for a year and a half before applying for asylum two weeks ago. We speak with Shepherd in his first international broadcast interview.

If you are in the Army the deployment is 1 1/2years. The army are sooo cheap to provide medical disability to most wounded soldiers because of low funds and GOOD luck trying to get free psychological therapy for PTSD once you are out.

So, now the fiscal policy of the Bush Administration makes perfect sense.

The War Czars have taken the words from the Statue of Liberty, for themselves - (after breaking down the Middle Class in the United States).
