Help me to be MORE hippie!

I just reread your post and this comment scared the HELL outta me. I am being honest. Do they threaten you when you sign up, or something? Jesus, I wouldn't be surprised. (I am NOT being sarcastic, I am just left with the opinion that they keep you in there with some kind of threat against your family, like the Mafia or something.) Yeah, it would scare me to death. What the hell is it that the Military does to people? What did they threaten you with? I'm more scared than I was before, and I was quite a bit before.

 

They don't threaten you when you sign up, not at all. But being a deserter is a crime. If I were to desert, I would basically be an outlaw. I would have a warrant for my arrest. I would not be able to legally hold a job. If I got pulled over, I would be arrested. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about that. It's nothing scary, really. It's just like if I ran out on a stack of speeding tickets. A warrant would be put out for my arrest. The reason it makes a difference to my family is that 1., if they were hiding me they would be guilty of aiding and abetting a criminal and 2., I would not be able to support my family because I would not be able to legally hold a job. See what I'm saying?

 

You want to be more hippie?Be yourself and stay true to yourself.
