From The Register-Guard:
She said she refused to return to Iraq in January because she feared she would be subjected to a repeat of the sexually charged atmosphere that plagued her first deployment.An Army spokesman indicated that Swift has been charged with being absent without leave and missing movement. It's not clear whether she'll face a court-martial or non-judicial punishment.From February 2004 to February 2005 she was stationed in Karbala as a military police officer.
To a degree, Swift's allegations have been supported by Army investigators, however, according to Ft. Lewis spokesman Joseph Piek, "In this investigation, she has never claimed that she was abused or raped." Nonetheless, the website, SuzanneSwift.org, claims actual rape occurred in addition to sexual harassment. A 'private therapist' also weighed in with a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Meanwhile, Spc. Swift's case has become the cause du jour for the leftist crowd, including the left-leaning media. Peace activists and feminists, in particular, have recharged their noise-making neurons. Consequently, the real issue regarding Suzanne Swift's failure to abide by her contractual obligation to serve and protect the U.S. as a soldier is being muddied by groups with a variety of political agendas.

The way you spell Grey indicates that you are likely a British Eurofag. We might be a potential item. Please call if you are interested in me. I no longer hate Jews or spam 9/11 conspiracies.

getting to be no better than Kos for that shit. Does Rusty or anyone
here think that they have the market cornered on blogging? This blog is
amusing at best, but gets most of its info from other, better blogs,
and relies mainly on third-rate hack contributors whose own blogs suck.
