'Deserter' surrenders at U.S. base (A good example for Bush)
I assumed it was Bush, but no, of course not.

Why can't smirk just do the right thing like this fellow did decades later?

He abandoned his duty. He even has a wife and two daughters.

"one count of desertion, two counts of soliciting others to desert, one count of aiding the enemy and two counts of encouraging disloyalty." That's our Bush.

C'mon, smirk. Fess up. All is forgiven.

TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- U.S. Army Sgt. Charles Robert Jenkins -- accused of defecting to North Korea 39 years ago -- is back on active duty Saturday after voluntarily turning himself at a military base in Japan.

The U.S. Army has leveled six charges against Jenkins, 65, including one charge of desertion.

Jenkins saluted the provost marshal, Lt. Col. Paul Nigara, when he arrived at Camp Zama, and said, "Sir, I'm Sgt. Jenkins, and I'm reporting."

Nigara returned the salute, informed Jenkins he was under the control of the U.S. Army and would be "treated with dignity and respect at all times."

Jenkins was accompanied by his wife and two daughters.

1. Jenkins; 65?
Too young for Korea. Maybe 75 years old?

Nit picking.

2. It doesn't appear that it was during war time ...
He was stationed near the de-mil zone and he bolted to NK (Post Korean War, 1965).

Cheers
