Actually one of them I know through a friend who has always voted Republican, is a decorated officer in the military, and the son of a top general. He was for the Afghanisthan intervention but has been horified by the absurdity and sheer barbarism of the Iraq war. He is a fine upstanding officer in the military, but refused to support the Iraq debacle by going back there, and has now gone AWOL to Canada because of his moral standards, not his liberalism. It is a sad country that forces some of its finest to rebel against the immoral actions of the civilian Whitehouse.
He is a real man, that has served his country in war, and now is morally strong enough to stand up against the tyranny at great risk to his future. He is not a coward chickenhawk like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush. Let's see you deal with him Shemp. He won't back down.
