Last week the AP came out with a story sensationalizing desertion rates in the Army and Marine Corps. About 15 minutes of research would by the reporter would have found that we are not at the highest rate since 1980. But of course this would not fit the agenda of Iraq is a quagmire. The reporter also interchanges AWOL (Absence Without Leave) and desertion using the terms as the same thing when in fact they are totally different. Deserters of an all-volunteer force are the worst scum I can think of. After all you know what you are getting into, the ARMED FORCES!
Here is the original article Army desertion rate up 80 pct. since '03 - Yahoo! News and I’ll put up Alan Fraser reply that you can read on, http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/11/military_desertion_rates_and_t.html
This is another indication why no ones buys newspapers anymore.
