U.S. deserter faces deportation from Canada

National Guard Sgt. Corey Glass, 25, says he fled to Toronto in 2006 after serving in Iraq because he did not want to fight in a war he did not support.

Glass, of Fairmont, Indiana, says he joined the National Guard believing that he would be deployed only if the United States faced occupation. After he returned from his first tour of duty, he said, he tried to leave the Army but was told that desertion was punishable by death.

"What I saw in Iraq convinced me that the war is illegal and immoral. I could not in good conscience continue to take part in it," Glass said Wednesday. "I don't think it's fair that I should be punished for doing what I felt morally obligated to do."

"There was nothing but violence and innocent civilians dying in our hands for no justification," Key said. "We became the terrorists."

Now it has come to: can't believe anything that they tell you. They prey on the Patriots.

It is now so turned around that they have become our enemies.

Just a thought, peace.

Here is a golden opportunity for Canada to show it's morality an
