[pardus]

RALEIGH, N.C. — A U.S. Marine who vanished a decade ago in Iraq was sentenced Monday to two years in prison for leaving his post there and then fleeing to Lebanon after a brief return to the U.S.

The judge at Camp Lejeune, Marine Maj. Nicholas Martz, ruled that Cpl. Wassef Hassoun was guilty of deserting when he disappeared in 2004 and 2005. Hassoun was also convicted of causing the loss of his service pistol...

Two years jail with eight months off for time served, pretty light sentence IMO.

Fucker should have got 2 years just for "losing" his sidearm and then tag on 10 for desertion. What happened to the good old days when he'd be shot out back with the mules.

It was stopped due to the trauma to the mules.....

Desertion. Two years. George Patton is doing cartwheels in his grave.
