Your sons and daughters who don't want to go to Iraq to die in an unjust war...

So legalities aside, do soldiers have a right to 'get out' if they feel that a

Was there another way out for these 'border hoppers'?

Anyway, my personal opinion?  I'd say that these American soldiers are welcome
to stay in the land to the north as long as they wish.

Bring 'em on!
(more American soldiers fleeing to Canada, that is)

Oh geez, I just thought--if Harper won the election a few days ago, these guys
would have been on the first train to Detroit.
