Personally, i would be apprehensive about brewing a pot of coffee under the leadership of donald rumsfeld. I can't imagine fighting a war under his leadership.

Don't give me that "You didn't serve you can't comment" stuff as service sure hasn't kept a lot of people on here for questioning the reasoning and morality of a soldier at his post seeing a car driving at him and not heeding the roadblocks and suggesting that soldier is heartless or suggesting that by following their orders they are base unthinking drones.
It IS cowardice pure and simple. As I said if he didn't like what he was doing there ARE ways out without fleeing into Canada. Most of them would deal with him being unceremoniously tossed out of the military and maybe some jail time but that's better than running to Canada like a coward. As I said if he wants to leave fine...but he better not dare set foot back in this country. In my book a person that signs up for military duty and then runs from it is less deserving of the freedoms of this country than even those who did not chose to serve.
