Monday morning, the 31-year-old told reporters he has been living in refuge at the First United Church in Vancouver since Sept. 18. &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe it will be just for me to be deported,&#8221; said Watson, flanked by church ministers and supporters. Watson lost his refugee claim on Sept. 11, and was expecting to be deported back to the U.S., where he faces jail for refusing to do a second tour of duty in Iraq.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I love this clown&#8217;s story.  Just watch this:<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ntWxSRmuQTE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ntWxSRmuQTE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>A couple of problems I have with this.<br \/>\n1) The timing doesn&#8217;t work out.  See, he claims he was stop-lossed, but he deserted before he could stop loss, i.e. before his initial 3 year enlistment was up.  This is what it says on the video:<br \/>\n<em><strong>Rodney served a tour of duty in Iraq and completed his full three-year contract before being stop-lossed and involuntarily re-enlisted, via this back-door draft, to be sent back to Iraq by the U.S. military.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Listen to him discuss his story, and you will see that his timing couldn&#8217;t possibly be accurate.<\/p>\n<p>2) Gives us some specifics Rodney, I promise you I will contact the Army and look into the claims of abuse and Koran spitting.  I can&#8217;t help but think this smacks of the type of story you learned from your buddy Joshua Key.  (An Army of Ro-Bots!)<\/p>\n<p>3) You siring a kid out of wedlock with some Canadian whore is really not germane.  If you had been a bit more responsible it might have occurred to you that having a kid while your immigration status is up in the air really isn&#8217;t all that fair to the kid.  But, I read elsewhere that the kid is already in a foster home, so that particular bit of heart-warming defiance on behalf of a kid that is no longer yours smacks of opportunism.  <\/p>\n<p>Just like all the other shitweasels that run away rather than face the consequences of their choices, Rodney chose to run away, and then pull at the heartstrings in an attempt to avoid doing the time.  Good luck with that.  I hope it costs that Church an arm and a leg to keep you there.  I love how all these characters are doing the right thing, the brave thing, and yet not a one of them feels like actually being a martyr by going to jail.  What happened to honoring the strength of your convictions?  Guess you would rather take advantage of liberal do gooders than actually have to suffer for your conscience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was trolling around &#8220;Courage to Resist&#8221; today reading up on the completely full of shite &hellip; <a title=\"Because we have been remiss in updating you on completely full of shite Canadian Deserter types\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=15743\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Because we have been remiss in updating you on completely full of shite Canadian Deserter types<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15743\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
