fuck No they should have shot the MF..and I would have been glad to do it .. free of charge .. but with a gut shot so he could hurt for a long time. I hate when they would show his picture in uniform. He should be put in a cell and the door left unlocked at night ... and the camera turned off .

He shouldn't be allowed to wear the Army uniform after what he did. An orange jumpsuit should be his uniform of choice until he is executed.

Hell No. You don't pardon a man that deserted in the face of the enemy, that deserted TO THE OTHER SIDE. Soldiers DIED searching for him.

Accused of endangering his comrades this traitor was personally responsible for six of his fellow soldiers deaths when they were shot up looking for him. This traitor needs to be executed!

SGM Matthew Quick I can't believe it is even a thought...or actually an option. Court martial should be the only ruling heard.

Article 85 (c) of the Manual for Courts Martial
Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.

The kid is mentally ill. Combat isn't for everyone, as a matter of fact I do not recommend it for anyone. My wife says I still "wake up" screaming, wake-up means I am conscious. He was another soldier that needed help, didnt get it, he'd hardly be a foot note if had just committed suicide, am I right?

It would be different if he had just walked away and only endangered his own life but 6 soldiers lost their lives looking for him and that Sergeant is inexcusable. He asked specific questions about serial numbered items and whether he should take them or not. He planned this and if he thought his captors would treat him like one of the neighbors he was mistaken. I wonder how much he divulged about his own fire base and the security of it before he was accepted as a prisoner? How many additional lives might that knowledge once shared with the enemy have place in jeopardy?

Moreover, this improper impingement from this social engineering President is far removed from just basic standards of the proven code of military conduct! His view of good military order is to pay for gender surgery for his transgender members! We have been led by the "Change" President who has set an agenda of distructive behavior within our military by creating different classes with regulations toward secularism and confusion! Where is that position of the fittest, pride, team unity, true competition and emulation of the best trained? Shame is his selected hierarchy of defense secretaries, flag officers and progressive PC leadership brought into the military to deplete a well designed competent and powerful armed forces with a history of strong leadership! To let this deserter walk is inexcusable and against all logic of military order! This includes this General who sided with a deserter!

I for one cannot say one way or another as I don't have access to all the facts. I know that the main stream media had conflicting information about this and sometimes redacted stories.

A military court found him guilty and sentenced him. Unless there is some overwhelming new evidence, I say let the sentence stand.

I am of the old school way of thinking...If caught in the field a diserter found working with or for the enemy is SHOT on sight.
