:wtf: I say let the guy be. It's been 40 years. Why "set an example" and imprison the man at the age of 65? For most other types of civilian crime(s), there's a prosecutorial statute of limitations (except ******/homicide, and I think a few others - I never practiced in criminal defense law). Why is this guy getting strung up now? It's not like he joined the opposing ***** and started shooting against his fellow Americans. He just bailed from military service.
Bah...let it go, folks. So he deserted and refused to go to Vietnam...we had an American President or two who were excluded from military service on technicalities or who were in the "reserves" and never got called up.
What a bunch of crap. Leave the man be.
And before anyone ASSUMES anything, I DO support the USA's voluntary military service and respect our military personnel, even if I disagree with executive decisions and orders, proclamations of war, and invasions, etc. Unlike some people here, I DO think it's necessary for countries to maintain military ******, even if only for simple preservation of sovereignty, but this is the sort of military, bureaucratic, governmental horsecrap that I absolutely abhor and find embarassing.
My :2 cents:
