You don't have half a fucking clue what logic is. All you are about is demagoguery, chest beating, mocking, and ranting. And you prove it daily.
Let him give the explanation! I don't give half a fuck. I've said all along that he should get a court martial and let the Army sort it all out. You are not content with that. You don't know all of the details, nobody does. It will all come out in the proper way. If he joined the Taliban and is a deserter, lock him up forever. If he went AWOL, then lock him up for a shorter period. If he is just a dumb fuck who wandered off, give him a dishonorable discharge and send him packing. There are openings in the janitorial and food service areas. But you want to skip all of that and just kill him yourself. Who is being logical and who is being emotional here Captain Kirk?
Amigo, I aint going to jail. I didn't say I was going to kill him, I'm okay if someone else finds him and does it, I am going to make him wish he were dead and I will find him. I have to.
I doubt he comes south. If the government has any sense they will put him in some sort of protective custody. If not it is open season on shit bags.
