This man has refused to go to IRAQ,. I bet you think I am going to Trash him, well you are wrong.

The difference is this man has made an informed decision, knowing the consequences and is not running away.

He Knows he is going to jail, that some people will call him a coward {I won't} He will be dishonorably discharged and carry the stigma with him for life. Yet he stands by his decision. Now if he made this decision and RAN, I would be after him, but to stand by your conscious and take it on the chin {lord knows he will be dealt with harshly} Is something I RESPECT.

I salute you,.................. addendum below... This was in the original body of work, then I removed it, I have added it back at the suggestion of one of our resident heroes, so the point of this article is not lost.

He wanted Uncle Sam to foot the bill for his education and now wants to beg out of his obligations.As for courage, maybe he's too chicken to even run away? Either way, he gets no respect from me.

could be mason, but hey we will never know what is in his heart or head will we?
