Not that many people in the military actually want to deploy. But when their number comes up most grumble a bit – then go.<\/p>\n

Hey, I can understand not wanting to deploy. No one likes the idea of potential unsanitary involuntary random body piercings, or being separated from friends and family for months at a time. But it\u2019s part of the deal you made when you signed on the dotted line.<\/p>\n

However, a few actively try to avoid deployments when their number comes up. And some really<\/em> pull out all the stops to avoid going.<\/p>\n

What stops, you ask? Well, like convincing their own spouse to shoot them.<\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m not kidding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems a young USAF SSgt stationed at Barksdale AFB, LA, was accused of doing exactly that the other day. She is accused of having her husband (also in the USAF, and also a SSgt at Barksdale AFB) shoot her to avoid deployment to SWA. She was wounded in both legs \u2013 apparently not seriously, since she\u2019s already out of the hospital.<\/p>\n

She originally told police that she was shot early Friday by an intruder who escaped before police arrived. On further investigation, local police arrested her husband for illegal use of a weapon – for shooting her.\u00a0\u00a0 Police also issued her a summons for criminal mischief for filing a false police report.<\/p>\n

No word on whether the USAF has preferred charges yet for malingering, conspiracy, or other crimes against either. But I\u2019d guess that\u2019s only a matter of time.\u00a0 Tell your careers goodbye, Sergeants – and possibly all your VA benefits as well.<\/p>\n

I will never understand some people. Sheesh, how freaking stupid can someone be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
