>>>I void my disclaimer on this one, one that I believe to be right on! A<>E<>R<<< Is Junior a Deserter by The Progressive Populist 12:56am Mon Nov 11 '02 (Modified on 2:36am Tue Nov 12 '02) Charges that the President Select is a Deserter. Who will follow him into battle? Can he still be charged, tried, convicted and punished? http://www.populist.com/02.20.letters.html Way Past AWOL I am encouraged at seeing references to the Chicken Hawks everywhere. It even shows up every now an then coming out of the mouths of Republicans on TV. The one thing that bothers me, however, is that even the most ardent, left- wing, populist, Democratic, liberal et. al. web sites and columnists continue to pull their punch when it comes to Junior. They'll say "... he stopped showing up ..." "... he skipped out ..." or, at worst: "... he went AWOL ..." Listen, the term AWOL makes it acceptable behavior. John Wayne went AWOL more than a few times in his movies. He always had a good reason. In the real world, through the ages, even some of the very best servicemen have been AWOL a time or two in the careers. That does not apply to Junior. According to military law, if a serviceman is absent without leave for more than 30 days, he is then considered to be a deserter. Junior didn't show up for his final TWO YEARS! The military code of justice has no statute of limitations for this crime. Junior could be arrested and tried for his crime right now. After about 18 months on the lam, he was sentenced to disciplinary service in Colorado. He didn't show up for that either. (note to news hounds: Would someone please ask Ari to show us junior's discharge papers?) The man is a deserter. So, you guys in the media please use the correct term. It is important that people realize the kind of person that our idiot Congress has given unparalleled warmaking powers to. THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE http://www.military-network.com/main_ucmj/main_ucmj.htm 808. ART. 8. APPREHENSION OF DESERTERS Any civil officer having authority to apprehend offenders under the laws of the United States or of a State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession, or the District of Columbia may summarily apprehend a deserter from the armed forces and deliver him into the custody of those forces. 885. ART. 85. DESERTION (a) Any member of the armed forces who-- (1) without authority goes or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to remain away therefrom permanently; (2) quits his unit, organization, or place of duty with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service; or (3) without being regularly separated from one of the armed forces enlists or accepts an appointment in the same or another on of the armed forces without fully disclosing the fact that he has not been regularly separated, or enters any foreign armed service except when authorized by the United States; is guilty of desertion. (b) Any commissioned officer of the armed forces who, after tender of his resignation and before notice of its acceptance, quits his post or proper duties without leave and with intent to remain away therefrom permanently is guilty of desertion. (c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A<>E<>R + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Forwarded as information only; I don't believe everything I read or send (but that doesn't stop me from considering it; obviously SOMEBODY thinks it's important) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.
