A week ago, I wrote about poor Kimberly Rivera <\/a>who, along with her lazy-assed husband, decided that the best way to improve their life together was for her to join the Army. After the Army trained her and gave her a fat bonus (which she wisely used to buy a suede couch) thay sent her to Iraq. When she came back from leave, she and her lazy-assed husband took flight to Canada where they’ve been living off of Canadian tax payers for the last two years. <\/p>\n

An article today from the Canadian Press by way of the Army Times<\/a> tells us that she’s on her way back to the States;<\/p>\n

Kimberly Rivera said Wednesday her requests to stay on humanitarian and compassionate grounds were rejected. Rivera is likely to be court-martialed when she returns to the United States and could face up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

Rivera, a first class army private stationed in Fort Carson, Colo., served in Iraq in 2006 and came to Canada the following year after she refused redeployment.<\/p>\n

She lives in Toronto with her husband and three children \u2014 the youngest is 6 weeks old and Canadian born.<\/p>\n

Rivera said she\u2019ll discuss her options with her husband and supporters but feels she\u2019s come to the \u201cend of the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family must leave Canada by Jan. 27 unless the order is reversed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, they already had two kids they dragged into a situation they couldn’t afford – I guess they figured “What’s one more?” Keep in mind, they lived with her parents after the first child was born and after the second, they decided SHE should join the Army (because he was too fat). Now, they’re trying to use a third child as an anchor baby to remain in Canada.<\/p>\n

The closing comments in the first post still stands.<\/p>\n

In related deserter news, Robin Long, currently serving a 15-month sentence for defecting to Canada and getting shipped back, after writing a sweet letter to President-elect Obama<\/a> begging for amnesty, has written a letter of solidarity to the 100 Israeli draft resisters currently awaiting their jail sentence there;

\nThat should make them feel better. I’m pretty sure those Hamas and Hezbollah rockets aren’t hitting any pacifists.<\/p>\n
