Smashing a Deserter

Posted By Blackfive

Deserter Pablo Paredes refuses deployment as a protest against war...and MilBlogger Smash writes him a letter.

...In the big scheme of things, your action will have no impact on the war. The Bonhomme Richard sailed out of San Diego on Monday, along with her entire battle group. Your attempted desertion may have caused a media stir, but you did not delay the battle group’s departure by so much as a minute. The embarked Marines are on their way to the Sandbox, to perform the mission that they were trained to do.

You did, however, manage to @#$% up your own future...

Smash attempts to have a man-to-man chat with Paredes.

Update:  Heh.  Sgt. Hook labels him a Disgrace You Should Know...aside from Hollywood and a very, very few in the military, there aren't enough of those to start a series with that title.

Three milbloggers I respect have joined in the chorus condemning Petty Officer Paredes for his recent desertion in San Diego. Smash uses some cheesy scare tactics in an open letter which, in my opinion, fall flat: You’ve just made a... [Read More]
