Yeppers, that pretty well works for me.
I don't understand. Really, why isn't he in jail?
Dan
Court martial. What a disgrace to America!
Yeah, I wonder what WE gave him for joining in the first place. Are we going to take it away now? And how did he get that shirt? Sounds to me like a liberal set up.
I'm glad to see this isn't a bash of Pablo Paredes. He at least deserves respect for not running and facing the consequences even if you might not agree with his actions. The Navy on the other hand....
Nobody made this jerk join. Desserters are shot in time of war normally.
'Missing movement' is one thing and can be quite serious but this POS is nothing more than a deserter. I hope he likes Leavenworth.
Amazing!!!
This pansy is walking around free!! The new "sensitive" war on Terror talked about by that idiot Kerry.
He is an affront to the brave men and women who serve proudly and with distinction.
Now that he's actually missed ship's movement, he's toast... You can talk about not showing up all you want. When you actually do it, however, you're in some deep kimchi...
Maybe a good old fashioned keel-hauling might result in an attitude adjustment. Next stop is the USS Brig...
He's officially AWOL. He's going.
"He believes the military is being misled in the war in Iraq, and he blames the Bush administration. Troops “are not told what exactly is the reason behind it,” he said. “I think oil is pretty much the reason."
In other words, he's a coward and plans to use anti-Bush rhetoric to camouflage it.
I guess they must have changed the military contracts to where you can now pick and choose which engagements and wars you wish to participate in.
So you joined the Navy? They should execute him.
A kerry sailor.
Part II
"But this time, contends Parades, himself a veteran of a Western Pacific deployment, the risk isn’t worth it. He believes the military is being misled in the war in Iraq, and he blames the Bush administration. Troops “are not told what exactly is the reason behind it,” he said. “I think oil is pretty much the reason.”"
Does anyone else wonder how this guy can actually believe he knows more then everyone else on that ship, his whole chain of command, and our government. These people simply amaze me, “I think oil is pretty much the reason.”, Why? Is it becuase there's oil there, is that the only requirement for this belief? WTF are these people smoking? Iraqi's are being killed everyday and these libs think its about oil, when are they going to wake up? Oil, that theory is so old and worn out you'd think even the stupidest liberal would see through it by now. If its all about oil, where is it? Where's all the profit?
God liberals really tick me off.
I saw him on the news. What a jerk. He must really love the attention, to try to provoke people by wearing that shirt like he did.
Walked off the pier? In my Navy days, Shore Patrol would have "escorted" him onboard so he could face NJP.
Maybe he should board a bus to Canada.
This gutless, cowardly scumbag should be rotting in jail.
