However, if he could not handle war, or if sent back would be a danger to his fellow soldiers by being unable to do his job properly, then what? I dont know. The American in me says desertion is treason, but the person in me says what if I was in his shoes.

Wow! Well said! I agree. I don't think any of us have any ideas of the front lines. I can't even imagine. Due to this I feel we can't judge his actions. He should have looked at all consequences before enlisting. BUT we do NOT know the whole story. Like what if his family pressured him into service etc. I agree he needs consequences but let's not create a village mob here. Me? I'd never join the military and should a draft occur I can't tell you how I would react but I know it wouldn't be good as I think drafts are 100% wrong. Finally I'd vote for him to stay in Canada if he paid a fine etc I see no issue w that.
