You might remember that I wrote about Specialist Kristoffer Walker last month when he made a spectacle of himself by not returning to his unit in Iraq and declared the war illegal and immoral. Well, he came around finally;
The company commander warned of serious consequences. He advised Walker to return for the unit’s remaining four months.
That changed Walker’s mind. He says he’s still against the war, but the Army has the power to ruin his life.
He says he no longer trusts his military leaders, and adds that soldiers are humans, not sacrificial animals.
In a Green Bay Press Gazette article he took some final swings;
“The Army has a gun to my head,” Walker said in a written statement. “They have the authority to level an incredible amount of force against me and can thereby ruin my life. I have been placed in a very dangerous situation. It is not my intention to allow the Army to use their gun and ruin my life.”
Banks said Walker is entitled to his opinion.
“Every soldier has an opinion, but every soldier has a job to do also,” [Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Nathan]Banks said.
I appreciate that he’s doing the right thing and fulfilling his commitment but he really ought to shut his mouth. The Army is doing him a favor by not allowing him to throw away what was otherwise a fine career. He ought to be a little bit grateful. He ought to take down this website, too.

Actually, to me this guy seems like an even bigger tool bag than the rest. He makes this grandiose statement, talks all this crap, and one email from his CO has him wimpering like a little Yorkie.
If he had had any balls or convictions at all, and some testosterone to back it up, he should have just filed as a CO, and volunteered as a medic or something where he didn’t engage in combat. I don’t know, this guy seems an even bigger pansy.
And a damn shame too, because it would appear he had done like 3 previous tours with no issues.
BTW- This LTC Nathan Banks is the man. He’s always the go to guy on Deserters. Wish we could get in touch with him to get statements from time to time.
While waiting for the Donkey to drop her load,(for the high priority assignment I am working), I wasted my time to read the “information”(?) at This turds site. In all the reading, I came away with this thought:
He feels that it is not the job of the military to do “nation building”.
If this country did not engage in nation building following conflicts, we would be in a sad state today. He, as others, are of the belief that we went to war against Iraq. When in fact, we went to war to overthrow Saddam for the Iraqi people. In doing so, at one point, I feel we went overboard, in breaking up the Iraqi military when we could have jailed the generals. We had to destroy much real estate as well. With our putting many people out of work, and having destroyed real estate; we went to work on building an ally. This is an ongoing venture, and I believe that one day it will prove its worth.
This turd feels that to run area medical centers, to build and assist in building infrastructure is not a military job. It is exactly that! How far would a bunch of peace corps gotten in the same endeavor?
Bottom line? He needs to get over himself, quit the bedwetting, do his military time and get a job at the library.

If he missed even one day of his duty or deployment, he should have been court martialled and put in prison, then given a richly deserved Dishonorable Discharge and kicked out after he served his prison sentence. The army has a bad habit of kissing the asses of cowards and deserters, and it needs to stop NOW, and forever. If these types are hammered as hard as possible, there will be a drastic lessening of their sort of stupidity. Dumbassery without any fear of consequences will only result in more dumbassery.
“If he had had any balls or convictions at all, and some testosterone to back it up, he should have just filed as a CO, and volunteered as a medic.”
But we are required to take part in a firefight if attacked. In ait the first thing that is taught when attacked is to return fire. I have a few power points that talk about the needed firepower from the medic to help gain fire superiority. The days of the medic not taking part in the fight are long gone.
Just out of curiosity has SPC Turd-Burglar ever heard of USACAPOC(A)? Nation building is our FRAKING JOB! (Yes, I said FRAK) Civil Affairs and Psyops Soldiers are an important part of COIN and are very useful as intelligence gatherers too (it ain’t our job, but ppl just seem to tell us useful intel, maybe its the increase in quality of life we bring ’em). Thats why this retard is a SPC, but if you ask this NCO, bust his punk ass to E-1 and then send him back to his unit.
