Canada has ordered the deportation of a female soldier who fled the U.S. military in order to avoid the war in Iraq, officials said Thursday.
...
Rivera, a 30-year-old Army private, served in Iraq in 2006. She said she became disillusioned with the mission. She crossed the border into Canada while on leave in February 2007, after she was ordered to serve another tour there.
After arriving in Canada on leave, she applied for refugee status.
...
In January of 2009, Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board ordered her and her family to leave the country or face deportation. Rivera appealed that decision.
Rivera's lawyer, Alyssa Manning, has argued in Canada's federal court that her client would likely face a court martial and jail time, possibly up to five years, if she is deported.
Just a snippet, but seriously? You join the Army there is a very good chance you will deploy. You can't just change your mind, it shows a lack of commitment and if you don't agree or have doubts you shouldn't have signed up in the first place. I have no sympathy for this idiot. I wonder what her MOS was- my bet is that she's probably S1 or something like that.
