James Circello is not an Airborne Infantryman. He is a pathetic excuse for a human being.
While he is "planning to turn himself over to military authorities soon," he should consider the commitment he made.
Mr Cirello pledged to "obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
While members of his unit honored their commitment , he ran the other way.
I only support those honorable men and women who lived up to their commitment. He is a disgrace.

This is not a video game. This is real life, people are dying, lives are being ruined, there is no glorious cause here, the vast majority of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan are not, and were not at any time a threat to the United States of America. If you want to go enlist as an Airborne 11b to occupy a country full of poor, desperate, people then do so. Then there would be many in Iraq and Afghanistan who would say that you should be put behind bars for participating in the destruction of their country. The victor gets to write history, but when a combat veteran decides war is not for him anymore, and would rather go to jail then participate, then you have no right to get the hell up on your moral high horse and talk to him condescendingly anymore then any other veteran. He has a lot more guts then some chickensh-t talking about how much honor there is in being a soldier and deploying but has never even worn a f-cking uniform.
