A Good Day For Us, And A Really Bad Day For Deserters


US Army Deserter Robin Long, who I've written about previously, was deported from Canada today by the Canadian government and is enjoying his new home...a Washington jail cell.

We used to shoot deserters, but that's a bit declasse' nowadays, unfortunately. As it is, I hope they throw the book at him. No one has the right to make a private peace during war time.

In related news James Burmeister, another deserter who voluntarily turned himself in was given a Dishonorable Discharge and sentenced to nine months in jail. Burmeister at least fled after being previously wounded in combat and then turned himself in to the authorities, which is why he probably ended up with only nine months in jail and a DD.

This will undoubtedly send a message to the two hundred odd deserters still hiding out in Canada and encourage them to emigrate elsewhere, which I'm sure the Canadians will be just fine with.

Just so long as they don't return here to pollute our beloved Republic except in handcuffs or behind bars.
