#4  In the good old days, even the US executed deserters

Usually after a court-martial though - even a drumhead one.

In the case you mentioned, I doubt we'll see the investigation findings until early next year. Plenty of time for the media to forget about it.

#3  In the good old days, even the US executed deserters. Of course, nowadays, when a deserter returns, his parents are honored at the White House.

So the IS has 'NKVD-type' elements? Not surprising, considering who the Baathists and the Chechens got their training from.
