The latest deserter ejected from Canada was seized by border agents Wednesday, tossed in the local hoosegow and then ROR to return to Fort Stewart and turn himself in, according to the Bellingham Herald<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Cliff Cornell fled the U.S. Army four years ago for British Columbia when his Georgia artillery unit was ordered to serve in the Iraq War.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, Cornell was deported from Canada, arrested in the U.S. and booked into the Whatcom County jail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know what the locals were thinking when they released an admitted deserter from the military hoping he’ll turn himself in to the Army on the other side of the country, but we’ll see if it pans out for them.<\/p>\n

But what got my attention was that the idiot for the local Veterans For Peace chapter wants to make Bellingham, WA a “sanctuary city” for deserters being ejected from Canada. Of course, his name would have to be Marx, wouldn’t it;<\/p>\n

Gene Marx, a local peace activist and member of the Bellingham Veterans for Peace, Chapter 111…and other local peace activists are asking officials to make Bellingham a “sanctuary city” so military deserters will not be arrested by locals and handed over to federal officials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Out of all of the things this so-called “veterans” organization could be doing for the troops who served honorably without deserting their posts and leaving their work for someone else to do, these buffoons want to make a hiding place for the lowest and least responsible humans in our country. That’d be a real feather in the cap of Bellingham – also famously the hometown of Evan Knappenberger – the crud who threatened to bomb the Gathering of Eagles and Michelle Malkin<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

The funny part is that this is how the VFP chapter announced Cornell’s release from jail;<\/p>\n

After an eight-hour delay on the US\/Canadian border and a night of incarceration, Cornell was finally able to rejoin his unit at Fort Stewart, Georgia. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They made it sound like law enforcement was preventing him from being with his comrades. here’s a screen shot because I’m not linking a VFP website here. Notice the “throng of supporters” in the picture. I guess five is a “throng” these days.

So, let’s say Bellingham is a sanctuary city today, would the VFP then be keeping Cornell from “rejoining his unit”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
