the most conceited country in the world The problem for America is that this is a hotly contested title.
The French spring to mind.

By walking away he did desert.
The military will not forget him and will continue to look for him.
My problem is some may get hurt or killed in the search that was caused by his actions.
The second is that he will be treated as a “HERO” when he gets back and movie deals will be beating down his door.
A bigger reward than those who did their jobs to the end.

Someone shoulda told this poor kid that there are consequences for thinking like a mush-headed campus utopian in the real world.

I wonder what the court marshall for him being a traitor will be like?

No Court Marshall for him - it would be bad press for the DoD.
He’ll get to pin on SGT, maybe SSG if they keep him much longer, the POW Medal, maybe a Bronze Star and then shuffle him out the door with 100% VA benefits.
Then the Rock Star tour with all the MSM talking heads - followed by the book and movie deals.

What was he thinking when he enlisted?
When as a soldier, he cashes his checks, enjoyes his benefits and anticipates additional and very generous benefits available to former military personnel..I wonder if he feels the same way!?

If this is true - I say "if" because 'Rolling Stone' is not a good source for facts - then why the h3ll did he join the US Military?
I mean, c'mon, it's not like a secret society that only a select few know what they do. "oh!, I didn't know that guns and imposing our will on others would be involved".
I liken it to the lefty numb-nvts I see in the corporate world that bash big business, the evils of corporations and the American capitalistic way while they make a healthy salary working for a globe spanning American corporation.

I put little credence in what one allegedly says or writes while being held prisoner by a bunch of barbarians. Let’s learn all the facts before passing judgment.

Agree, but he supposedly wrote these before he walked away.

My post mentioned nothing about what he’s done since he was picked up.
He was not left behind and captured in a firefight.
He walked away from his FOB and was picked up.
I’m sure right now he would rather be eating cheeseburgers and fries with his homeboys but his situation was caused by his actions.
As to what he’s been doing in the past three years - there are some propaganda clips of him helping the TB with some explosive training. For that he should not be charged with - as you noted. He also did escape for a few days but was recaptured.

I think there are a lot of people who join the US military because they couldn't find a job. I was reading an article last night in USAA magazine and it reported that 85% of college graduates are returning back home to live with Mom and Dad. Bottom line is there is no jobs in this country and people are desperate for anything . If you don't believe in the mission of the US Military and not of strong constitution then then military is not for you.
Currently, I don't understand our mission in Iraq and Afghanistan . We would be safer in this country if we didn't import Muslims or other people that hate this country and quit trying to nation build other countries with borrowed money.
