"I suppose it's a kind of method of warning people that the United States military ... has a long memory."

Sounds like that's what they're doing here, to me.

I'm thinking those border guards were told by their higher ups to keep a look-out for people who have long standing warrants for desertion, so they can be made an example. This guy was the unlucky winner.

And 8,000 deserters from the current war? That's an interesting figure. No big surprise that it hasn't been mentioned on the news (to my knowledge).

It was mentioned on Cdn news and so was the number of people who moved to Canada after the last election. I forget the number.

You know it seems crazy to me that deserters couldn't be pardoned after so many years. I know that this guy had joined the marines, but it punishment enough to have to leave your families. I guess this is no excuse.

Oh and the U.S. government is putting alot of pressure on Canada about it's borders.We are all going to have to have a special card to travel to the States by 2008. Right now I can cross over with only my birth certificate or drivers lisence.(sp)
