I found a biography by Charls Robert Jenkins " To Tell The Truth " at Library today.
I never forget news told He was run away army to North Corea from DMZ of South
corea and married with Hitomi who was kept in custody from near house and carried
away to North Corea..News day was a harf of year before Iraq War start...
Hitomi realize to come back to hometown 24years later after she carried away...
and she waited tow years duering Charls and tow daughter gether and live
her hometown...this difficult negosiation continued tow years between
country, and we send handcrapping to him and his family that rear unlucky
destiny life...It was after started Iraq war and a deserter story wasn't acceptable
story in his country..but feel from his honesty mind for look back 40years life
of North Corea in his book, how he got frustration and had horrible and hard life as
like as death of mind he had in dark country..he said " I apologize to my goverment
and nation and my subordinate and my mother and relative for my act of deserter .."
he did duty of result of military court and live normal life now..
He told " I decided run away, reason was I knew as I'll be sended to Veitum Jungle.. "
he hoped escape to soviet union through out from north Corea and return back
to America by military court..but after caught in north corea, he knew It's impossible
for get out country when he lost his american life at 24years old...he met with mother for
42 years interval at 2005...( he is 65 years now )
he seems naughty child and he choosed military life as natural , he had dear mind to
military uniform that every young girls fasinate at that times..he became a sergeant
few first age, but he noticed military life wasn't match his mind later...
Army is man's world..woman never know inside of real hard life..force rule have " shoot
if found to anybody in party will act of run away..."...honesty say I agree his brave heart..
and wish every war welcome to the end with get tool of conversation in solve to problem
instead of violence military act...if bring to any beautiful word, war is ulgy and make hurt
to human's mind who entered military service or victim and can't fade away pain in this world...
Fix to destruction....everything start from it...

If a man has no honor, then he can only pretend to understand beauty.

War is a stain on any man's soul. Some men can handle it better than others. Most wars are about nothing anyway except politicians' pride. But most politicians keep their sons out of battle.
War is nothing but a sacrifice of our young people. It serves only the rich and powerful. It kills the poor and humble. Judi

RYC, if there was a military 'draft' in America there would certainly be more anti-war protests.
I never read the book but it sounds interesting.
Awesome post Naomi... although I think war can be a woman's job...
Thanks for the very enlightening comment. It is wonderful to here from you and you are right about freedom... it is does not necessarily equal happiness, in fact it carries a great responsibility... some can not handle this.
Have a great week.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
- John Stuart Mill, English philosopher, 1806-1873.
In a perfect world, there would be no war. But this world is far from perfect and as much as I hate fighting, there are some things worth fighting for. Anyone who is exposed to war is hugely affected ... some just handle it better than others. God bless.
