It's a shame the American military won't let it's soldiers quit. From what i've read she supported the war in the beginning and later began to question what was going on. She stopped carrying her rifle with her and was reprimanded and then secretly stopped carrying ammunition. It should have been clear to her superiors that she didn't want to be a part of the war anymore.
While I don't like the fact that she deserted and crossed the border into Canada, I have to wonder what other options she might have had. I can appreciate that people join with the best intentions and then later become disillusioned on what the mission is about. What I can't understand is why the military would choose to keep a soldier when they no longer believe in the cause.
I suspect that when she is deported the military will make an example out of her and send her to prison for an extended period of time.
