Rep. Ted Poe: "Our country cannot deceive its citizens."

Since when?

Don't lie to your own citizens...

Under current U.S. law nobody can to jail for breach of contract alone, because breach of contract is a civil matter. In addition, the 13th amendment prevents total enforcement of labor contracts. The remedy for breach of contract is almost always monetary damages. Fortunately the army didn't choose to define this case as desertion. Though the U.S. Army has executed plenty of people for desertion as recently as WWII, in the last 10 years the stiffest sentences given have been 18 months in prison. I believe drafts, the stop-loss program, and incarceration of deserters are forms of slavery that should be abolished.

Downvote for the first guy. That was nothing more than an uneducated recruiter thinking that the DEP is permanent. He never threatened anyone. All he did was tell him what he thought to be the truth.

As for the second guy: "there will be a warrant"

Well, he's a fucking ass clown.

And let's not forget the shoddy journalism.

Crap, so the 52" hdtv and the new car aren't my signing bonus for the coast guard reserves? I was lied to?

I CAN'T QUIT EITHER, OR I'LL HAVE A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST! SOME1 HELP PLZ!?

Yes, it figures Bill O would defend and minimize the act of lying.

After all, deception is his bread and butter.
