In Tuesday's Atlanta Urinal and Constipation there is an article on the front page, no less, about another soldier who decided that he didn't want to go to Iraq. This one fled to Canada.
Let me get this straight. Our military is a purely voluntary organization. There is no more draft. No one forced this cowardly asshole into joining the Army. So now he decides that he dosn't want to go to Iraq?
"I feel so strongly about the Iraqi war and not wanting to be a part of it that whatever the consequences, so be it," Hinzman said."I thought it was an act of aggression based on false pretenses," he added.
Whatever. Listen up dipshit. That is not your decision to make. That is the decision of your commander-in-chief. You joined the Army. You swore an oath. You are now officially a deserter. In time of war, you could be shot.
And here is another turdbrain.
Last week, a Florida National Guard soldier who had served six months in Iraq but refused to go back after coming home on leave turned himself in to military authorities, saying he is against the war and seeking conscientious objector status. He is currently at Georgia's Fort Stewart, where his unit is based, while authorities decide whether to file charges against him.
Let me get this straight. He is a conscientious objector and he joined the National Guard? Once again, joining the National Guard is a voluntary act. What is up with these people?
But back to asshole number one.
Soft-spoken and intense, Hinzman said he is ready to live with the consequences of his decision. It could mean he may never be able to return to the United States, or that he may forever be labeled a traitor or coward by those who disagree with him."As a soldier, I had signed up to defend the Constitution, not to invade another country," Hinzman said.
No you booger eatin' moh-ron, you signed up to follow orders. And yes, I think you are a coward.
A native of Rapid City, S.D., the 25-year-old said his decision to leave the country and seek refuge in Canada was not a result of cowardice. He had already served in Afghanistan, albeit as a cook, while his application for conscientious objector status was pending. Rather, he said, it was his pacifism and growing opposition to the war in Iraq that convinced him to leave his unit just before it departed for the war zone
So why did you join the Army in the first place you hypocritical dickhead? Probably because he could get the Army to pay for college. The military isn't that bad of a life if there are no wars going on, but if this asshole was really a conscientious objector why did he join in the first place? It's amazing how some of these buttheads magically turn into pacifists just about the time they have to go to war. He can't tell me he isn't a coward.
Back in the 60's when I was in Viet Nam.
You were in Viet Nam?
Yeah. I was in the Navy and on an LST. We pulled right up on shore and we got shot at on two separate occasions. I noticed an interesting phenomenon. The biggest pussies were the lifers. We had a Signalman First Class (E6), Loth, who just went to pieces. My general quarters station was in Combat Information Center (CIC). CIC shared a space with the Charthouse which was Loth's GQ station. This guy had been in the Navy for 10 years and was going for his 20. Unfortunately for him, no one told him he might see some action.
On this particular day we had pulled into Cua Viet to unload some supplies when the base got hit. We turned to leave and saw the mouth of the harbor get bracketed by enemy fire. We decided to just stop. CIC was three decks down so it would take a pretty good hit for a rocket or mortar to get us, so most of us 4 years and out guys were eating our C-rats and bitching about not having a hot meal for lunch. Loth had his head on the chart desk and was crying. I couldn't resist saying, "Hey Loth, this is your Navy!" I was an asshole back then too.
Back to the article, which by the way, was written by Ron Martz one of the most anti-war people at the AJC. We also have to hear about some of the cowards who went to Canada during the Viet Nam War.
John Phillips of Algona, Iowa, was among the first to cross the border. Phillips, now 58 and a successful film producer in Toronto, came in 1967 and helped create the infrastructure that enabled thousands of draft dodgers and deserters to fit into Canadian society.Decision 'traumatic'
The decision to leave the United States, he said, "was horrendous. It was absolutely traumatic. I was patriotic. I was an American." But he said he was uncomfortable with the draft and the war. When he came up 1-A in the draft and was denied conscientious objector status, he fled the country.
No, you sorry sonuvabitch, you were not patriotic. You were a cowardly draft dodger. Don't give me any of that patriotic bullshit. Your country called and you gave it the finger and headed off to Canada. I have nothing but contempt for you.
But back to the original asshole this article is about.
His decision to join the Army, he said, was an effort to provide some structure to his life and to get money to attend college.
Sho' nuff! He wanted the Army to pay for his college. Unfortunately, he didn't want to hold up his end of the bargain.
He admits now he was naive about what he would be doing. "I don't want to come off as having no idea as what the Army was about," he said. "I was just totally ignorant about what it takes to make a person a killer."
Can someone really be this stupid? That's what the Army does. It trains people to kill people.
Listen to this next bunch of bullshit.
"I've never felt as close to a group of people as I did when I was in the Army," he said.
But you were willing to desert them at the first sign of danger. I wonder how they feel about you right now? I can guess. Words like pussy come to mind.
When his unit, the 2nd Battalion of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, received orders for Afghanistan several months later, Hinzman said he had no problem going."I just didn't want to go in a combat role," he said.
Because he was a coward.
Run off to Canada you cowardly bastard. We don't need people like you here in the United States.
You would probably feel more at home in Quebec. There are French people there.
