Thousands Have Deserted From The Get-Go:


IRAQ:

Thousands of American military deserters/soldiers have deserted from the inception, from combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Soldiers are not supposed to have any political agenda as individuals. But they are also HUMAN, and feel pain, loss, grief, sorrow, and are on the frontline of fire, in this so called War On Terror in Iraq & Afghanistan.

And these claims of misconduct in Iraq & Afghanistan, the killing of civilians, and other allegations against America & her coalition allies are not helping either. These military men and women are fighting an enemy who cannot be easily identified. This enemy is among civilians, dressed in most cases like civilians, and do their fighting in civilian hangouts, and territories. Thus making it easier for mistaken deaths, frustrating at not being able to respond skillfully against targets, thus causing the needless deaths of many civilian personnel.

Pointing the finger to some military personnel who may have ignored the Geneva conventions for Warfare, and captured military personnel/combatants, may not be fully applied in a combat zone of terrorists, who use the element of remote controlled explosives, suicide bombers, civilian assistance in carrying out certain terrorist acts, in an un-conventional nature. Which makes it even more difficult to maintain any semblance of military discipline, much less adhere to The Geneva Conventions.


It Is Time To Bring Our Military Personnel/Soldiers Back Home
Permanently!
