Put his butt in the brig like they do the rest of the damned deserters........he doesn't deserve any kind of special treatment regardless of his age or health. Why the hell should he get his rank and uniforms back and have the same privileges as someone who didn't desert? What the hell is wrong with this system anyway?
I'm surprised they didn't give him his back pay as well...
what's wrong with the system that allows a 15 yr old to enlist???

"Like any other soldier, he will be given his Army salary and probably live in base housing with his family while his case makes its way through the justice system." - Oh, they have got to be kidding! Was JAG just too busy when they brought him in?
"He taught English to spies...", even up here in pacifist Canada, we have Korean Wars Vets that want a piece of him.
There was a 15 yr old Marine killed in Nam. The army doesn't have a patent on screwing up.

The army has always had a patent for screwing up dont even go there with that. there was plenty of hills in nam the army maintained which they thought they did and lost to the enemy and the marines had to take them back. we medi-vac alot of army vets to tin-shaw (95th evac)

:marine:The same trend happened alot during the 3 yrs shoot 'em up in Korea, which you alluded to 'cowboy...every Marine outfit, especially MLR units never wanted the US Army on their flanks...every time the 1st Marine Div FMF was dislocated to a new area, the US Army, along with ROK troops [not the KMCs] always gave territory back to the Goony/birds...nitely Gook infiltrators knew the lackluster/weak sisters on the MLR...Semper Fi :marine:
