Taking nothing away from what he did (I agree with Uncle Phil-his sentence was light) I would rather the few who would do this action (or lack thereof) not show up than to have multiple lives count on their performance. When I was enlisted (Navy corpsman) we called these kind of people "shitbags" and there presence actually puts peoples lives in danger. Usually their performance will be their undoing, but some manage to slither through and continue with borderline satisfactory evals never promoted to higher ranks. I'd rather these people not show up.
Just so it doesnt sound like Im blasting any political parties I wont state a name. But its hypocracy like this that pisses me off and shows some major problems in the core values of certain areas of our government. A certain US president (not Clinton- although he did some F*&#@# up shit of his own) who was a commisioned officer has dishonorable history of being a deserter, but because of who he was it was looked over and he got away with it. In my eyes this man commited an offense every bit as bad as this person, but was let off and allowed to become President. IMO this mocks the system, as do allot things I suppose. Right or wrong there have been too many Americans that have given their lives (whether the agreed or not) for someone to skate by like this.
