He has a very good point...when he joined he believed just like everyone else did..that there was a threat against the US...And that threat was weapons of mass destruction....now years later he found out that the threat was really OIL... |

When you join the military you take an oath to serve, not to serve where YOU want to serve. I think he is a coward. Especially when my daughter was over there fighting and I do mean fighting, she has the combat medals to prove it and she says she would go back again in a heartbeat. |

he should probably have entered a different career path,
i.e. he's a dumbass |

We have an all volunteer military, and he VOLUNTEERED.........he should be court martialed! |

He should be court marshalled and thrown in the brig. If you do not want to serve your country, don't enlist in the Army and take a free college education. |

can you say court martial? hes lucky during a time of war
he wasnt shot... |

Im thinking he used the military to get what he wanted and now he is renigging on his part of the bargain. He should pay back the government for what they paid to train him. |

He should be court-marshalled and drummed out of the military.
It's not like the day of Vietnam where troops were drafted, he signed up to serve and should have realized that there was a good possibility he might be sent to the middle east. |

I think he made the wrong career choice. When you are in the military, you do what you are ordered to do, period. |

The he shouldn't be in the Army to begin with. |
|

Hmm...why did the buffoon join the army in the first place? For speaking out loud, I think he can eat shiit too. |

I think he should be court martialed and given a dishonorable discharge. |

Good way to set a leadership example for your troops. You should have stood alongside of Saddam. He ran too. |

when a person signs up for the military they become the "property of" the Army, Navy, Airforce or Marines, etc. and that means they cannot say no to their superiors. When they sign up they also know they will go to war no matter where the war is. When they refuse they can, from what I know, get a dishonorable discharge (difficult to get a job after that), or perhaps be jailed in a military jail and do time. During the Viet Nam war the conscientious objectors fled to Canada. So what do I think of a person who disgraces the military? I'd be wondering why did that person sign up in the first place since the military is no longer a lottery. I'd consider them a deserter. How could you trust them then? |

Court Martial! Throw him in prison and leave him there. Hope he enjoys the black mark it leaves on his entire life. You don't join the Army, take their money and then refuse to give back as you promised. The love of my life is over there, doing his job! Not being a little weasel here. |

If he is an officer then he deliberately became part of the military.
Military is a fighting force and it is most likely going to be involved in a war. He must have known this so if he refuses to go where he is sent then he should be tried tor treason.
Any person that volenteers to be part of the military knows that they have joined a fighting force and knows what the possivilities are. |

That he is breaking his oath. If he wasn't willing to follow orders he should not have enlisted in the first place. Now he will have to suffer the consequences of his bad choices. His own doing as he knew when he raised his and and gave his word that he might be called on to go to war.
It doesn't matter, his given word is his given word. He made the deal in full knowledge of what the deal entailed. If he gets prison time and screws up the rest of his life, that is because of his personal failure to act in an honorable fashion. I have no sympathy whatsoever. |

On the one hand I sympathize with him, and even buy a little of his argument, but he volunteered, he wasn't drafted. And in the 2-4 years of training leading up to his commission nobody made it a secret what his job was going to be, and the Iraq war has been in the news for 4+ years now. Yet he decides (what, a year ago?) that he doesn't want to do this now? Come on. Either do your duty or take your punishment like a man. |

He's an officer - he should be going for his soldiers more than anyone else and 2. because he's in the Army and that's part of his job, if he didn't like it he shouldn't have joined! |

I think he shoud of thought about that before he signed up. It makes me sick to be honest. |

Wow, ok, well, this one is personal. The closest person in my life is in Baghdad, I never wanted to see her go, and when she walked onto that bus it was, it, I can't even speak about it. If you know history you know that there has always been war, and if you know life you know you shouldn't be afraid. I think the officer needs to stand up, and live in this life, and quit being afraid... |

it reminds me of the Monty Python episode
an officer is quitting, he insists on the application he said, NO Killing, the general says why did you join then, he says for the travel mostly |

Good for him. Now take away his rank, bust him down to private, put him in the stockade and when he gets out give him a DISHONORABLE discharge. |

Court martial him and put him in a military prison in Iraq. |

He should have known what he was getting into in the first place when he signed up. My 23 year old sister is a Sargent in the army and just had a daughter 5 months ago...she was shipped out to Iraq two days before Christmas for a year tour without her child of course. He should do what he swore he would in the beginning |
