Title: Army desertion rates up 80% since 03 Post by: freethinker on November 16, 2007, 10:54:34 PM http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/general/2007/11/16/Military.Deserters/
Still nowhere near the Viet Nam numbers but these guys volunteered to join. What do you suppose this is telling us? Title: Re: Army desertion rates up 80% since 03 Post by: Totino on November 16, 2007, 11:07:08 PM Makes sense to be higher since it's war time.
If you listen to the news alot you can hear about recruiting scandals. I remember one couple signed up and claimed they were told they wouldn't be sent to Iraq. Both of them ended up being told they would be deployed, they went AWOL, and got sent to prison. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case in alot of these. But I really don't know who is stupid enough to think that if they join the Army they don't have great chances of being sent to Iraq. Ignornace is bliss? You also have to add in the fact that alot of guys keep doing these lengthy repeat tours. That sure as hell won't help.
