I hope they treat this deserter the exact same as they treat the average deserter. No better, and no worse.

All anyone really knows is that she’s missing.If they find her alive and hiding out somewhere then she’s a deserter.I just hope they don’t find her in a shallow grave somewhere.

They won't treat her per the law. She was harassed demeaned, raped, degraded and was merely escaping the aforementioned treatment.

They'll probably pin a SERE qualification on her.

"Women can do anything they set their mind to just as well as men,” Lopez told the news station when she enlisted."

Oh yes, which is why women compete with men in professional sports, the Olympics, college sports...Oh, wait a second.

She will make an excuse like harassed or something and get away with it.
Want equality and what men have to do then face the music like a man.

You know that she was driven to going AWOL by a whole lot of unbearable micro-aggression and male-privlege.

I’m sick of hearing how women should go into combat units and if they do the same test then what is the problem.

Well first that the women in ranger school failed and then was given another attempt. When the Army was asked to show their paper work to see if she got any special treatment the Army said they could not find the paper work and some of the instructors there said she did get special treatment.

Secondly.
Many of us who have served in a combat unit know full well that some of the men and her will flirt with each other. This has happened in my experience. it causes drama, it causes the unit to break down as people take sides. Also while on patrol doing mountain and Arctic warfare in air temps of -30 we had to wait for her to go to the bathroom ,it was that time of the year for her. Her blood left a trail for animals to come to the snow holes.

It does not work and if Cater had any kind of respect for the military then he would announce to let the Army test it , instead of forcing the Marines to accept it when they do not want it. Just like having on homosexuals should have been.

Swinging a sledge hammer as a 12B or swinging one in Leavenworth.

Pick one, toots.

Blame the teachers who overdid the self esteem agenda. We have a generation of young people who think they much better in everything than they are. They become very unhappy when reality bites them.

Yup.

But Mabus said, "The Marine Corp study is wrong, because diversity always makes us stronger." McCain ripped him a new one when Mabus casually admitted that he hadn't actually observed the study.

What about the family and relatives? Are they complicit? Interesting to find out.

The articles are vague except to say she was in training and then she went on ‘convalescent leave’ what ever that means in her case. There was no mention of what she needed to recover from ... was she having excessive lactation? Inquiring minds and all that.

Must be true.

If it wasn't true you wouldn't see so many female mercenaries or have so many getting drafted by pro football teams.
