(46,416 posts)honestly that he intended to go off base and return by roll call or whatever, but got captured. That would not be desertion. It might be AWOL, which would be a lesser charge.

(24,135 posts)Imagine that? It's a wonder he didn't do himself in like so many others do.
It might just happen due to the shit storm raging here in his country, against his parents.
Fuck, I wouldn't want to ever come back here now.

(4,452 posts)he was smart enough to figure out what kind of clusterfuck he was involved in? Then tried to get with the people he was told were the enemy to find out what they would really like to see as assistance to promote peace, love, and happiness?
Or mabey he just wanted to know more about the people that he was bringing "democracy" to? I mean his buddies said he didn't like to drink beer and actually read books and stuff.
