Isn't mailing back your personal belongings and writing a letter to your parents saying you no longer believe in the cause or want to be a soldier evidence that he wanted to desert?
It means he didn't want to be a soldier and he no longer believed in the cause.(understandable)

Did he say in the letter he wanted to leave his unit and not return?

That and the actual deserting part!
We don't know that yet.

Fine and dandy. I didn't care for it either. But that's zero excuse to abandon your post.

I think it's pretty clear this guy is a deserter, but they are gonna have to prove to me that he is a traitor.



well he left his post and sought out the Taliban. All of his fellow soldiers have confirmed these facts and even more. Even when ordered not to talk about it.

This confirms desertion.

I think desertion and being a traitor, while both pretty fricking rotten. Being a traitor is far worse and is something I think needs to be proven. I just don't think the label traitor is something that should be thrown around.

And he probably is, but the talking heads on television can't prove that. Proof he is a rotten soldier yeah, but traitor? That's for others to decide, and they don't work for CNN or Fox News.

Yeah, I'll call him a traitor if it's proven. For now I'll stick to calling him a POS.

Is there any evidence he meant to capture Kabul?


That's what I think and he spent five years lulling the Taliban into a false sense of security by dressing like them, living amongst them, speaking Arabic and practicing Islam.

Well that and playing soccer like a "mad man" carrying his own AK-47 and hanging with his new found homies, yeah nothing to see there.
