National Day of Action to support U.S. War Resisters in Canada, and also combined with a rally against the Security and Prosperity Partnership. September 13, 2008. Linda Leibovitz, speaking about Omar Khadr.
People who sign on to the armed forces--VOLUNTARILY--then decide that they made a mistake are NOT 'resisters'. You can't compare these people to those who fled conscription in the 1960s, who really had no choice. These 'resisters' probably wanted the scholarships and whatnot that accrue from military service. Then, they found out that out that (shock!) it's about killing people and/or getting killed/maimed. Just send these idiots back, to deal with their own stupid mistakes.
