BrainStream: U.S. Servicefolk Flee to Canada

[bkdelong]

In a case of "you know it's bad when...", German publication Telepolis has an article about US Servicefolk - mostly reservists - fleeing to Canada to escape deployment to Iraq.

The article makes some good points. I'm not sure this is better than taking a stand as a " Conscientious Objector" but it is showing the lengths people are going through to not have to fight in a war they don't believe in.

Update: Doug had asked if there was any other information of soldiers "fleeing" to Canada so I'm pulling up a few articles:

• Deserter defends fleeing to Canada - (Army Spec. Jeremy Hinzman, 27, Fled to Canada.)


• Anti-war Soldier Charged Early Today With Desertion - (Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, 28, Captured, Arrested, Court-Martialed.)
