Marine who went missing in Iraq charged...

[pltReed]

So now he's been charged with dessertion. It took 5 months to figure that out!?

"Hassoun also is charged with loss of government property and theft of a military firearm for allegedly leaving the Marine camp while still in possession of his 9 mm service pistol, as well as theft and wrongful appropriation of a government vehicle."

"Hassoun is not in custody or confined to Camp Lejeune; he is working in the brigade motor pool. Morgan said he will continue to go about his normal duties, although he is considered to be non-deployable until the charges are resolved."

Why? In this day and age, anyone can chat with anyone, anywhere, via the internet. If there's any question as to loyalty, why not completly sever all ties to him?

Innocent until proven guilty I believe.

I aint like the base motor pool is sensitive or on the point of the spear.
Why not wash some trucks scrub some tiolets etc.

More like LOTS of toilets. Oh, and don't forget sandbags. We can always use more sandbags...

for some reason it seems to me that the other shoe is going to drop on this case but we will wait and see.
