US deserters flee to Canada to avoid service in Iraq
Sounds like pre-emptive measures before the institution of the draft! I wonder what Canada will do in the long run... The plot is thickening.
Telegraph | News | US deserters flee to Canada to avoid service in Iraq: "An estimated 5,500 men and women have deserted since the invasion of Iraq, reflecting Washington's growing problems with troop morale.
Jeremy Hinzman, 26, from South Dakota, who deserted from the 82nd Airborne, is among those who - to the disgust of Pentagon officials - have applied for refugee status in Canada.
The United States Army treats deserters as common criminals, posting them on 'wanted' lists with the FBI, state police forces and the Department of Home Security border patrols."
