I\u2019d rather have a suppository applied with a tomahawk missile than read this book again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the article about his impending return:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After fleeing to Canada, Key wrote The Deserter\u2019s Tale, a book in which he described seeing two civilians decapitated and their bodies desecrated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There were American soldiers kicking the heads around like soccer balls,&#8221; Key wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Key told the board he joined the Army after a recruiter told him he would be assigned as a bridge builder and not deployed in combat.<\/p>\n<p>His unit entered Kuwait on April 10, 2003, and within weeks, he was in Ramadi, Iraq, where he said his duties included conducting night-time raids of Iraqi homes in search of weapons.<\/p>\n<p>During these raids, he said, he witnessed several instances of unjustified abuse, unwarranted detention, humiliation and looting by fellow soldiers, much of which was ignored by his superior officers. He said that at other times in Iraq, he witnessed unwarranted physical abuse, including the killing of apparently innocent civilians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, I am glad this dirtbag is finally getting booted.  About friggin time.  He&#8217;s been procreating with some Canadian broad like mad, so prepare yourself for the inevitable &#8220;how could they seperate this hero from his children&#8221; story.  My response would be to ask how many of you cried about thepile of fetuses that David Bellavia was forced to boogie board down in Iraq.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfive.net\/files\/bluefalconradiodeserterssong.mp3\">pile of fetuses that David Bellavia was forced to boogie board down in Iraq.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(I could live to 150 years old and still be most proud of my 3 minutes as the producer of &#8220;Blue Falcon Radio&#8221;.
