Jim???" <br />Recently an American soldier sought assylum in Canada, <br />He was an enlisted soldier with a great record in Afghanastan. <br />Hr yold the Canadian jdge he would be severely punished <br />if returned to the U.S. as he didn't want to go to Iraq. <br /> <br />The judge didn't buy his story and he is to be deported <br />sending a message to any other enlisted Americans <br />seeking assylum in Canada. <br /> <br />This judgement was generally well received by Canadians. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />MM- <br /> <br />Thanks. I wasn't trying to cast aspersions on Canada today, but refer to the Vietnam era practice of some seeking to avoid Selective Service in the U.S. in connnection with Jim. I realize that Canada has effectively repudiated the former practice of accepting U.S. deserters. <br /> <br />LC
