Many of them committed war crime atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan personally and have returned to the United States and have either deserted or killed themselves, unable to live with what they did to innocent Iraqi babies. <br><br> Record numbers of suicides attest to the horror of trying to live with the crimes that the Bush regime is ordering Americans to committ solely for the profit of Republican corporations. <br><br> Bush war deserters are heros and should be welcomed back to the arms of _real_ Americans to be forgiven for what they did. <br><br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2004\/12\/06\/60II\/main659336.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2004\/12\/06\/60II\/main659336.shtml<\/a> <br>  <br> \n","contact":"frice@skeptictank.org","link":"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2004\/12\/06\/60II\/main659336.shtml","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"What do you call soldiers who refuse to follow orders to committ further war crime atrocities against humanity on orders from their fascist leaders?  &quot;Heros.&quot;","numcomment":4,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2005\/07\/131772.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":131816,"heading":"the figures I have","article":"are more than 22,000 since 1997\r\n\r\n(and this is considering how hard it is to desert in Iraq too)\r\n\r\nI wonder if SS cares to argue the point because I have DATA waiting to post to back it up...\r\n\r\n(he claimed the figures are false because he's *in* Iraq but never presented any data to prove it)\r\n\r\n","author":"Hex","parent_id":131772,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-07-08 12:21:13","modified":"2005-07-08 12:21:13","fileurl":""},{"id":131848,"heading":"Suicide counts also","article":"I've also been trying to find credible suicide counts.
