The good folks at US News and World Reports send us a link<\/a> to their latest article on Micah Turner<\/a>. It seems that he’s so wanted that no one wants to touch him. According to the article, He’s tried to turn himself into the New York City police and to authorities at Fort Hamilton<\/a>, but he’s still on the loose;<\/p>\n

Alison Kohler, a spokeswoman for Fort Hamilton, confirmed to U.S. News that Turner had “made contact with our installation” and said that he was expected to arrive Tuesday for processing. It is unclear whether Turner will face charges for his absence, though he previously said he believed he would face felony charges.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, today is Tuesday, right? The article continues that he’s headed to Buffalo to link up with the filthy hippies up there. I know we have more than a few friends up there who can land a good throat punch for us. <\/p>\n

Whoever said that he was an illustrator in a pschyops unit called it correctly. I guess that’s why he couldn’t stand to support the war against terror any longer – the things he colored haunt his dreams. And the memory of that time his crayon went outside the line still wakes him up in a cold sweat. Or something.<\/p>\n

Turner told the assembled audience in New York Sunday that he was in Afghanistan the night al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, and remembered his fellow soldiers asking “Is the war over? Should we pack up?”<\/p>\n

“But the word never came, and a lot of good men died that year,” said Turner. “There is no justification for this war. There is no reason our brothers and sisters should die in the sand… It is my duty to dissent.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, thanks. We need a cartoonist to tell us how we should formulate foreign policy. The US News says that Turner was promoted to Sergeant last September, well after bin laden was killed, so I guess he didn’t mind the pay raise while he thought the war should have been over. The Army also says that they only have a record of one deployment, August 2009 to February 2010, despite Turner’s claim that he has four deployments. His deployment dates don’t coincide with the death of bin Laden (May 1, 2011) like he claims, either. Of course, he claims that Army records are screwed up, but we should believe the criminal on the lamb<\/del>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
