U.S. Military Not Pursuing Deserters

Take a look at the scumbag in this video clip who deserted his unit and is at home playing golf. Deserting the military is a very serious thing and the military is wrong for not pursuing each and every case.

The military claims it’s not worth it to pursue deserters, because there are just so few. The military can legally execute deserters during wartime, but that sentence hasn’t been handed down since WWII.

    The military doesn’t have a squad that travels around the country hunting down deserters and shouldn’t. Such a unit would be a waste of money. However, the military doesn get the vast majority of deserters back when they have routine run-ins with the law, try to get a job using their SSN, or even at DMVs. They get a federal warrant and they get picked up.

    During my time in the Air Force, I was assigned to go fetch all deserters, from whatever service, picked up in about a 500 mile radius covering North Dakota, part of MN, and SD too. Whenever some local sheriff picked up a deserter at a traffic stop, I’d go get him and bring him to Minot AFB where we’d ship him back to the Army, Navy, or Marines, or deal with him ourselves if he was Air Force.

    This was not a full-time job, but I did it several times. More often than not, he’s given a bad discharge, maybe a couple months in the clink, and sent packing with no benefits. We don’t need to shoot these cowards, just get them out of the military.
