He Doth Object Too Much?

There is so much wrong with this story, where to begin? I will stick with the facts instead.

In June 2011 Mr. Abdo was granted conscientious objector status by the US Army. Mr. Abdo had claimed after studying the Qu'ran and Islamic law that he could not fight in Afghanistan or Iraq. Then on the weekend of July 4th Mr. Abdo went absent without leave [AWOL] from Ft. Campbell KY after being charged with possession of child pornography. He was arrested near Ft. Hood, TX in his motel room. A citizen called in to police saying a man had smokeless gunpowder and other items in his hotel room. Mr. Abdo is now in jail in Kileen TX on the child porn charges. FBI does not think anyone else was involved.

Time for soapbox rant. I think the US military should boot out anyone who asks for conscientous objector status. They should be treated worse than anyone who has failed basic training. A thank you letter for trying and nothing else, no benefits or GI Bill. Zilch. After all they volunteered to join and then got cold feet. Being a weak sister should not be rewarded in any way with benefits or even a Entry Level Seperation. Rant off.

July 29, 2011 Update - Adbo in his court apperance on charges of possessing an unregistered destructive device gave a shout out for Nidal Hassan, the butcher of Ft. Hood. Firing squad sounds like a good idea for both pieces of filth.

There was a rationale for CO status when there was a draft. A conscript that claimed CO upon induction might carry a certain level of sincerity and in the past they were assigned to what might today be termed "non-kinetic" functions, i.e. non-shooting. They could be medics, corpsmen, etc. That is NOT exemption from deployment or combat area assignment. Many performed admirable service in WW II.

Today there is no draft. When you sign up for military service it is with full awareness of what our military has been called upon to do for the last twenty years. You WILL got to the sand-box.

That is why these "enlightenments" that occur on the eve of deployment are cowardice of the first order and nothing more. They are self-serving crap.

You knew what we did when you signed up. You knew what we did when you took the oath. You knew what we did when you went through training. Now you don't get a release with or without benefits. You get sent to Leavenworth...

If I were king...

Interesting how a supposedly devoted Muslim has kiddie porn. That's worse than the 9/11 hijackers going to a strip club before their attack.

Just added an update to this story. Now I am all for a joint firing squad for Hassan and Abdo.

And except for you and a few others- these facts have not seen daylight-especially not from the lame stream media.

All I can do is make note of it. I think that evil idiot has cooked his own goose. Now to get the rest of the military to wake up
