Poor kid. I hope he and his family are okay. It took a great deal of courage to stand up for what was and is right. It's important to recount his tale.

Poor remainder of the Armed Services, takes a great deal more courage to serve your obligations in the face of adversity and danger.
Why is it that every one of these stories is the "But the recruiter told me...!"? No where in the contract he signed did it say he'd never be deployed. Not one recruiter has ever said (and I've talked to at least a dozen since pre-9/11) to me that I'd never be deployed. That's what the military does, they fight wars. You only need to look at the Clinton Administration and see how many deployments they had, and they had plenty (LONG before Bush or 9/11).
I thank him for the time he did serve, but I have no sympathy for an abandoner. If he was so troubled with what happened, with no evidence given it actually did occur, he should have reported it immediately. Instead he goes to the comfort of home, and decides he does not want to go back.
