PING!

Desertion in time of war - I seem to recall something from the UCMJ about that - Death by Firing Squad?

I approve of that, but what about the punishment for those who engineered the swap for the five high-value Taliban terrorists? Aside from the release of those confirmed terrorists, the Obama Regime essentially put out a contract on any any serving military personnel who may fall prey to the terrorists.

How many folks besides Eddie Slovik were ever executed for desertion?

I doubt very much this guy will face a firing squad. If he deserted, he damned well should; but that’s in a time and place where adults are in charge, and those adults are real Americans.

Here... now...? Not so much.
