the ratio of deserters to what?  To have a ratio, you have to something to compare them with, dummy.

First, are you AWOL or are you a deserter?  If I remember right, AWOL is for 30 days or less and desertion is for more than 30 days.  There is a huge difference.  You need to contact your unit and turn yourself in.  Not to scare you or anything, desertion can carry a UCMJ penalty up to life in prison and death.  With AWOL you can get some time, and Article 15 and a dishonorable discharge from the military.

Canada will not defend you with military force.  And Canada has a mutual legal assistance treaty with Poland allowing for extradition if the alleged crime would be a crime under Canadian law.\n\nhttp://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/intpolicing/centralauth_e.htm\n\nSorry.

I don't have specific numbers for you.  Perhaps if you visit Www.goodnewsmagazine.com, they may be able to help you.  THey ran an article some months ago on these child soldiers.

That was over 90 years ago and then men who served must be well over 100 years of age. But since it was so long ago, I'm sure the Army's in Europe weren't very organized at the time. And there is little knowledge of who served. But there is less than 50 still living within the US. So I would say maybe around 100 (and that's pushing it!)\nProud Great Grand-Daughter of Cpl.

Maybe there should be an draft just so the same people aren't constantly deploying and redeploying?  I don't think it necessarily means that the US has plans to go into other countries, although, I am sure that they need to at this point.

Sorry I did not see the press conference with Bush.  I am a Canadian, and I try not to watch political things from the US (perhaps I should start!).  But I think that it is TOTAL BS that he isn't going to bring your troops home.  I know that the are proud to fight for their country, and for what they believe in, but I think that it is about time that they start pulling out.  I know that Canadian troops have gone in and started taking over for the US troops in some areas (but then again Canada is a peace keeping nation and the US is an a** kicking nation! lol) ... I don't know what to think, but those are my feelings.  My prayers are with you and your family, (and for you hubby and all the troops that are involved in this war) God Bless

If you are refering to a possible millitary draft, if you go to Canada to avoid it they will cross the border and get you  and bring you back.  And, the draft age may be going up to 42, and both men and woman can be drafted.  But, it is a good steady job with food included so I don't know what the problem would be.

The maximum U.S. penalty for desertion in wartime remains death, although this punishment was last applied to Eddie Slovik in 1945.\n\nAccording to the Pentagon, over 5500 military personnel deserted in 2003–2004, following the Iraq invasion and occupation.\n\nMaximum punishment. \n\n(1) Completed or attempted desertion with intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 5 years. \n\n(2) Other cases of completed or attempted desertion. \n\n\n(a) Terminated by apprehension. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 3 years. \n\n(b) Terminated otherwise. Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 2 years. \n\n(3) In time of war. Death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct

WOW,  one in about 10,000.  Sounds like it's anarchy in the streets as the entire military opposes the war.  And a 1st LT at that.  That's not even a real officer - the coward.\n\nHey I noticed you took down that phony pic from your avatar of the Purple Heart license plate you were pretending to have.  Good move.  Conscience get to you or was that advice from your "lawyer"?  That was one of the most despicable acts I've ever seen a non military person do if you ask me.\n\nAnd since you apparently don't have a valid email according to yahoo - I thought you deserved an answer I will answer your last email to me here.  Just so we all understand, I'll include a copy of your note.\n\nFrom: cantcu \n\nSubject: Military.. \n\nMessage: I was in the military for 8 years active! Wanna see my DD214?\n\nYour remarks are libelous and if I were you, you better be damn careful where you tread because you are full of BS.\n\nKets compare our discharges. If you have one!! \n\n\nMY RESPONSE\n\nLet's see that 214.  Scan it & email it to me.  BTW, what did they suggest  you do with it at discharge?  What was that MOS again? What is "pinger" to a GI?  \n\nI notice it  took a month to answer one of half a dozen questions I asked you.  I suppose you had to Google it?\n\nSo sue me jack*ss.  I can't wait till your attorney says you have no actionable damages.  Let me put it into terms even you might understand. \n\nAs you're sniveling in her office, your attorney asks "Now, now little cantcu, what's the problem?  You wipe your tears and reply, "This guy is saying I was never in the military.  It's making me look like a real poser on a Q&A forum where nobody knows who I am".  And then she says, "Hum, cantcu you've got a real problem.  Since knowbody knows who you are, that's going to be a tough one."  \n\nSince you don't have a real job, as you hear it, you breakdown and start crying again because you were  expecting a really big pay day.  \n\nBlubbering through your tears, you ask very eloquently, "Huh?"  She relies "Yeah, sorry dumb *ss, its going to be hard to prove how you were liabled under an annonymous screen name." And you very eloquently ask once again but this time louder,   "HUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"  \n\nShe's says, "Hit the road.  Besides, you are a f*cking POSER."  "Somebody get this poser out of here", she yells in revultion.\n\nNo charge for the legal advice, POSER.\n\nHold on, let me check that email account & pull up that 214.  Is it there yet? Nope, didn't think so.\n\nAs for my service, US Air force AFSC 303X3. My squadron was responsible for more kills during Vietnam (it was a war right?) than any other military MOS or SC.  Have an extra pair of clean pink panties with you sometime and we can talk about it.\n\nHmm, maybe that's why I find your POSING so reprehensible.

One officer who is afraid of his own troops because of his own misconduct.\n\nThese losers have been claiming that they are the 'tip of the iceberg' for 3 years.\n\nFor a reality check - simply look at the Army's re-enlistment numbers.  If there were as many disgruntled soldier as you hope - the Army would not be 15% over this years goal for re-enlisting troops already.

Got this e-mail today.  This is a good read - funny how it took someone in England to put it into words...\n\nSunday Telegraph Article\nFrom today's UK wires: Salute to a brave and modest nation\nKevin Myers, The Sunday Telegraph\n\n    LONDON - Until the deaths last week of four Canadian soldiers accidentally killed by a U.S. warplane in Afghanistan, probably almost no one outside their home country had been aware that Canadian troops were deployed in the region.  And as always, Canada will now bury its dead, just as the rest of the world as always will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does.\n\n    It seems that Canada's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance. A fire breaks out, she risks life and limb to rescue her fellow dance-goers, and suffers serious injuries.  But when the hall is repaired and the dancing resumes, there is Canada, the wallflower still, while those she once helped glamorously cavort across the floor, blithely neglecting her yet again.\n \n    That is the price Canada pays for sharing the North American continent with the United States, and for being a selfless friend of Britain in two global conflicts. For much of the 20th century, Canada was torn in two different directions: It seemed to be a part of the old world, yet had an  address in the new one, and that divided identity ensured that it never fully got the gratitude it deserved.\n \n    Yet its purely voluntary contribution to the cause of freedom in two world wars was perhaps the greatest of any democracy. Almost 10% of Canada's entire population of seven million people served in the armed forces during the First World War, and nearly 60,000 died. The great Allied victories of 1918 were spearheaded by Canadian troops, perhaps the most capable soldiers in the entire British order of battle.\n \n    Canada was repaid for its enormous sacrifice by downright neglect, its unique contribution to victory being absorbed into the popular Memory as somehow or other the work of the "British." \n\n     The Second World War provided a re-run. The Canadian navy began the war with a half dozen vessels, and ended up policing nearly half of the Atlantic against U-boat attack. More than 120 Canadian warships participated in the Normandy landings, during which 15,000 Canadian soldiers went ashore on D-Day alone. Canada finished the war with the third-largest navy and  the fourth-largest air force in the world.\n\n    The world thanked Canada with the same sublime indifference as it had the previous time. Canadian participation in the war was acknowledged in film only if it was necessary to give an American actor a part in a campaign in which the United States had clearly not participated - a touching scrupulousness which, of ourse, Hollywood has since abandoned, as it has any notion of a separate Canadian identity.\n\n    So it is a general rule that actors and filmmakers arriving in Hollywood keep their nationality - unless, that is, they are Canadian. Thus Mary Pickford, Walter Huston, Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Norman Jewison, David Cronenberg, Alex Trebek, Art Linkletter and Dan Aykroyd have in the popular perception become American, and Christopher Plummer, British. It is as if, in the very act of becoming famous, a Canadian ceases to be Canadian, unless she is Margaret Atwood, who is as unshakably Canadian as a moose, or Celine Dion, for whom Canada has proved quite unable to find any takers.\n\n    Moreover, Canada is every bit as querulously alert to the achievements of its sons and daughters as the rest of the world is completely unaware of them. The Canadians proudly say of themselves - and are unheard by anyone else - that 1

As of 2005, there were 12,276 Warrant Officers in the active duty Army which is 15.1% of the officers total.  I don't know how many of those are 5's, but I hope that helps to narrow the field for you a little bit.

In the Canadian Forces Class A Reserves, it primarilly means that you will not get paid, or get any of the training you might receive by going there.\n\nNot to mention that you will miss out on the socializing that is commong amongst all soldiers, even reservists.  \n\nAlso, it will affect your military progression and selection for courses you might want, like, say, a PLQ or pre-deployment training.
