#1 Somehow I don't think he will be accepted like the the prodigal son.

#2 keep him there - we don't want him.

#3 Plant him on the borderline. 7' hole sounds about right, put a BUSH - variety doesn't matter - on his head, fill in around, tamp gently, water.

#4 Does this mean that Canada is going to abandon it's unilateral policy and rejoin the community of Nations? I've got news for Canada, they can keep Hinzman we don't need him and he obviously likes it better there. President Bush should strip him of his citzenship (and his family) and deny re-entry into the U.S.

#5 I disagree, guys. This guy is a soldier, a member of the 82nd airborne who decided he didn't like to go to war afterall.

He needs to come back and face the music - he deserted his post and refused lawful orders.

#6 Agreed Too True. Let him face the music, get his sentence, and above all, spare us the excuses. The man walked off after he broke a commitment to his nation and his fellow soldiers.

#7 Accomodations at the USP, Leavenworth and a suitcase full of yellow jumpsuits should do him nicely

#8 In the spirit of the rule of law, and all that, this guy, if he comes back to the US, needs to be held accountable for desertion. Especially when everyone else did their duty and upheld their oath to protect the country and defend the constitution. If he does not want to come back to the US, then he can look for another country to hang out in. Maybe Bobby Fischer has some ideas for him, heh heh.

#9 If he doesn't want to come back and do the responsible thing, he should renounce his U.S. citizenship. He obviously doesn't value it anyway.

He should also convert to islam - then the moonbat Canuck government will welcome him with open arms.

#10 Actually, radrh8r, the United States Disciplinary Barracks is on Fort Leavenworth while the United States Penitentiary is outside the military installation. The dude will be processed and classified, then assigned one of several color jumpsuits depending on that classification status. He could work in trust positions or under supervision. Probably will be mowing grass, doing grounds works to start with, if he does go to the USDB.
I expect he'll be court martial'ed [a federal felony conviction record], busted to E1, forfeit all pays and allowances. Most likely he'll get a DD or BCD which eliminates his veterans bennies. The CM Authority can set aside a portion of the sentence as arrived to by the courts martial and just get rid of him without doing time. Depends upon how he feels.

"That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us."
Henry V, Act IV, iii, 35; W. Shakespeare

#11 Dishonorable discharge and ship his ass to France. To bad we can't revoke his US citizenship.
