National Guard soldier charged with
desertion



(CNN) -- The U.S. Army charged a Florida
National Guard soldier, who
went
absent without leave while on a two-week break
from duty in Iraq, with
desertion, an Army spokesman said Saturday.

Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, of North Miami,
Florida, was charged
Wednsday and
will face a special court martial, Staff Sgt.
Brian Sipp, of Fort
Stewart/Hunter
Army Airfield, said.

"It's not the least severe, but it's
not the most severe court
martial
there is," he said.

Sipp said he did not know the maximum
penalty Mejia, 28, could face
if
convicted. He also said he did not know when
the hearing would be held.

The decision to try Mejia was made by
the judge advocate general
late this
week, Sipp said.

Earlier this month, Mejia was accused
of "violating his mobilization
orders" and was told to report to Fort Stewart,
which is located in
southeastern
Georgia. He is restricted to post but not
held in confinement, Sipp said.

Mejia, who has said he would seek conscientious
objector status, was
in
Iraq for about five months before returning
to the United States last
October
for a two-week leave.

They need to bill him for every penny and every
dollar he recieved or they
spent on him. Failure to pay in full should
result in Prison. Now, if you
has a few million laying around, he could buy
his way out this way and the
Government could spend it on necessities.

Or, just put him in jail AND bill him.



Put the deserter in Leavenworth and throw away the key. He'll be lucky,
used to be they shot people for desertion.
