Twenty-two-year-old James Burmeister, from Oregon, joined the military in 2005 because he was told he'd be going to Iraq to rebuild. Instead, he set booby traps. A victim of irony, James was injured by an Iraqi booby trap. From a hospital in Germany, he fled to Canada with his wife and child. He is now playing in a band and seeking refugee status. What do you suppose the odds are of receiving it?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
Update: He may end up wishing he'd just kept a low profile.
I dunno. I can think of one deserter who has kept a pretty high profile lately (tee ball games and such) whom nobody has bothered to track down.
