Cos ten amerykański patriotyzm wywietrzał, prawie 4700 żołnierzy AWOL w tym roku:

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.

"We're asking a lot of soldiers these days," said Roy Wallace, director of
plans and resources for Army personnel. "They're humans. They have all sorts
of issues back home and other places like that. So, I'm sure it has to do with
the stress of being a soldier."

The Army defines a deserter as someone who has been absent without leave for
longer than 30 days. The soldier is then discharged as a deserter.

According to the Army, about nine in every 1,000 soldiers deserted in fiscal
year 2007, which ended Sept. 30, compared to nearly seven per 1,000 a year
earlier. Overall, 4,698 soldiers deserted this year, compared to 3,301 last year.

Nie napisano słowa kiedy w 2003-2004 dezercja spadła o 50%.
Wiadomości należy sprawdzać samemu.
W roku 2000, w czasie pokoju i wszystkiego najlepszego z US Armed Forces
zdezerterowało 9269 "wojaków" a teraz mówia mi duzymi literami że w 2007
czmychneło do dziury ale tylko z Army 4698. A ile z Marines, z Navy, z Air
Force? Tego nie podają. A ja znalazłem. W 2001 z Army czmychnęło 4595. Ciekawe
czy uciekali przed czy po 911.
W gruncie rzeczy istotne jest jaki procent ucieka. Te same 4000 w 1999 może
stanowic znacznie większy procent niż w 2007.
