Military Desertion Rate Up 42%

WASHINGTON - Soldiers strained by six years at war are deserting their posts at the highest rate since 1980, with the number of Army deserters this year showing an 80 percent increase since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.

While the totals are still far lower than they were during the Vietnam War, when the draft was in effect, they show a steady increase over the past four years and a 42 percent jump since last year.

And since Harper's Canada isn't going to let them in (or at least let them stay), they quite probably will become "undocumented" citizens and royally mess up the Rs undocumented = illegal alien stance.
