I hate to keep writing about this dork, Andre Shepherd<\/a>, but it just gets more ridiculous every day. Someone sent me a link to an AFP story on Military.com<\/a> which reports that some smelly hippies are awarding Shepherd a “peace prize”;<\/p>\n

The Munich American Peace Committee said it was awarding the prize to Shepherd for his “courage and conviction in despite of the possibly extreme punishment from the US authorities” and “for publicising your convictions to give other soldiers the courage also to leave the army and to push for peace.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Extreme punishment”? Like sleeping on a bed of two layers of newspaper pages on a concrete floor in a dank tropical prison windowless cell with a milk carton for a toilet. Brown warm water and bread for breakfast, fish head soup (complete with real fish head) and rice for lunch, spaghetti noodles with ketchup for supper? A shower once-a-week? A beating every morning for not waking up soon enough? That’s what my days were like in a prison somewhere. So what kind of “extreme punishment” are the smelly hippies trying to convince us Shepherd would suffer.<\/p>\n

Well, at least these hippies left the country. <\/p>\n

Poor Shepherd can’t accept the award personally;<\/p>\n

While Shepherd’s asylum application is being assessed, he is not allowed to travel beyond the confines of Karlsruhe in southern Germany where he is staying at a refugee-processing centre, Friedrich said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Figures that he’d find some laws he can obey when his fat ass is on the line.<\/p>\n
