guyser Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Besides you a debt of graditude to the US taxpayer because it is they who pay for the military umbrella that protects most of the civilized world trade routes and ect. No he doesnt. It is not an altruistic endeavour . Quote
Chuck U. Farlie Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Great – a couple of peacock strutting, chest thumpers came forward. So, you’re troubled with Conscientious Objection (CO) overall, regardless if Canadian or American military personnel are involved. We can now recognize your more complete profiles that stand against religious, moral or ethical positions that might cause individuals to seek CO status. We can also more completely recognize your complete lack of compassion as demonstrated by your futile posturing (nee blustering) attempts to beak off about honor, cowardice and intellect. Is this supposed to insult me or something? Look... I did my 3 years in the army. Sometimes it was tough, and many times I wished I was elsewhere. I even thought for a minute what would happen if I went AWOL - and then I thought I couldn't abandon my buddies, and nor did I want to risk going to military prison or having a warrant out for me by the RCMP. I never even considered running to another country to cry for mercy - mainly because I wanted to remain Canadian and be able to see my family. Even if they had extended my tour or didn't allow me to leave, I would have sucked it up and did my part. I think these deserters are incredibly stupid and cowardly. Even if Canada were to allow them to stay, then what? They would never be able to visit friends or family in the US without being arrested. If they really can't hack another tour in Iraq (if that is the true reason) then they should request to serve in Afghanistan or on the homeland. If that is denied, then they can refuse to go and take their punishment. To Peter - I have no problem that they are applying for refugee status, and I am glad they are all being denied. It would have been better to have them turned away from the border to begin with, but since they weren't I guess this is how we have to deal with them.

Really what protection does Canada have against the Russian hordes do we have amilitary that can stand toe to toe against them if they decide they are going to take our northern resources?

Peter F Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 That is who paid their salries that is who they contracted with. Not you not Canadians. The US Taxpayer has the right to prosecute these cowards for not fulfilling their obligation. Besides you a debt of graditude to the US taxpayer because it is they who pay for the military umbrella that protects most of the civilized world trade routes and ect.So if I were the US TAX payer I would say the same to you, F you. Good! They can say F-you all they want, I'm not stopping them. However if the government of Canada determines that these deserters have a legitimate refugee claim then they get to stay in Canada safe and sound. ... and the US taxpayer can say F-you all they want. Hell they can even withdraw their bought and paid for by US taxpayers military umbrella if they wish. But the deserters will still be refugee's in Canada and thats because the US taxpayer has sweet F-all to do with that determination. Quote A bayonet is a tool with a worker at both ends

THEN the Canadian taxpayers should say F-you all and demand the heads of the refugee board! Quote
Peter F Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 THEN the Canadian taxpayers should say F-you all and demand the heads of the refugee board! Im sure many would, Betsy, many would. But you won't hear my voice in that crowd. Quote A bayonet is a tool with a worker at both ends
Muddy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 We deport soldiers with the courage to stand up for what is right (The war in Iraq is WRONG.) because Harper is in power with his brownnose up the US butt. Nuff said. Wait just a darn moment here! It was the liberals when in power that said these deserters would not be given sanctuary. There are things that are truthful that you can blame Harper for but this is not one of them. Try to stay truthful if are to be taken seriously or at least say you were mistaken.. Quote

Try to stay truthful if are to be taken seriously or at least say you were mistaken.The previous poster's comment demonstrates how the facts of the deserters case are not relevant to many. They are simply tools in a political game. Quote To fly a plane, you need both a left wing and a right wing.
