Oh wow what a stupid asshole. "spread the word so I dont disappear". Oh give me a fucking break.

"Yesterday, June 19, 26-year-old SPC Eli Israel put himself at great personal risk by making the courageous decision to refuse further participation in the U.S. occupation of Iraq."

Courageous huh? More like cowardly. This guy would have resisted any war because he's afraid. So what does he do? He runs away and in the process tries to grab as much attention as possible. It has nothing to do with him having a conscience. It has to do with him joining the military and thinking he would not have to go to war. He would have resisted going to any war because he joined up without thinking it through. He's a coward and an attention whore.

He's no better than a deserter. He deserves to be shot in the balls. Not that he has any.

"Wow, I am sure that having a stateside civilian chichenhawk call him a coward is really hurting his feelings. jeeze, man get your ass to Iraq."

Don't worry I plan to.

"And hey, how in bloody hell do you reconcile all this hate towards this man - one man - with the military record that your beloved leader has?"

Where exactly do you people get the idea that I like Bush? I've said multiple times that I do not like him or agree with him. I also have said multiple times in many of your OWN submissions that I think he was a coward for having his family get him out of having to go to Vietnam.

@NutManIV - Don't worry I plan to.

Yeah, LOL, i'm sure you will go to Iraq and that it will happen right around the time that magcynic goes... oops, I forgot, he changed his mind. {Something about wanting to finish college first, and then later saying that he decided he would not go at all...saying something about not wanting to leave his GF. This...after numerous times of pretending to be a tough guy and claiming that he was going.} You chickenhawks have no shame.

Ooooooh nice try, but that's a far cry from the thrashing and the dripping hatred that you have given in other threads and in here towards conscientious objectors and those who also refuse citing concerns about the legality of the Iraq war/current occupation, etc.

FYI, didn't bush go AWOL? and wasn't he a deserter as well? And during a time of war? And wasn't this after his da-da pulled strings to get him ahead of others - and thus someone else probably had to go to nam in his place?

Anyhoo just for shits and giggles (for the non-bloodthirsty cowardly scared shit in their pants whackjobs in here), let's pretend that you were talking about bush instead, when you said the below...

So , if a soldier comes to his sences after allready serving time there, and probably nuff action this guy is a coward for standing up for his views?
The droid you might want to become does not apply on every soldier, they should ask questions upon the actions of their leaders, and if in doubt speak up.
This is not a cowardly descision but a brave one, since it's harder to take an opposite stance, then follow like a dog.

Again you portray it to be black and white, while it never is. Instead you come in here time and time again, bragging about how good you can follow, stating your opinions as fact (for instance your claim that insurgents are just a rag tag bunch of losers, which if they are says even more about your military, but you never gave us any info on where you get this wisdom)
You want to go fight for a man who you say you don't support in a war that has no end and no meaning, suit yourself, i hope you come back in one piece.
But don't suspect anyone to be supportive for the choice you yourself make, because you refuse to think and discard whatever that doesn't suit you or your views



and not a bush rooter? , common what are you then a policy hugger?
Stupid FTW, right?

Sorry, to me, he's neither couragous nor a coward. My problem is that his paranoia is just ridiculous. He has violated a direct order. If he believed the whole war to be illegal, that is fine. This is a volunteer-based war. Once you sign up, you sign up for responsibilities as well.

He is failing to meet that.
