Nathaniel Floyd White; another deserter in jail

Nathaniel Floyd White deserted from his Army unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina seven years ago. But now he’s rotting in jail waiting for the Army to pick him up a try him for being a fugitive and his new bride isn’t happy about it, although she knew he was a deserter when she married him, according to WLOS;

“He was not in combat,” she says. “He was not assigned to go into combat. I believe he left the base. He rode a bus.” White’s wife went on to say her husband always talked of turning himself in. But, she says, when they married a year ago, Nate, as she calls him, stopped talking about taking the serious step and facing potential prison time. “He wanted to make it right,” she says. “He promised me on our year anniversary he would do it. But this (arrest) came first.”

So, see, he was going to turn himself in, but sheriff deputies beat him to the punch. After seven years. And, I’m pretty sure that White could have just gone to his commander and told him that White wanted out and then, after a few months, he would have been free and clear. But I guess he couldn’t wait that long.

Why would a woman marry a deserter, any-damn-way? Was he the only guy left in the town who she could marry?
