Military turning to courts-martial to stem increasing desertion by battle-worn troops
Military turning to courts-martial to stem increasing desertion by battle-worn troops By Paul von Zielbauer, New York Times Article Last Updated: 04/09/2007 09:36:03 AM PDT Army prosecutions of desertion and other unauthorized absences have risen sharply in the last four years, resulting in thousands more dishonorable discharges and prison time for both junior soldiers and combat-tested veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Army records show. The increased prosecutions are meant to serve as a deterrent to a growing number of soldiers who are ambivalent about heading — or heading back — to Iraq and may be looking for a way out, several Army lawyers said in interviews. Using courts-martial for these violations, which before 2002 were treated mostly as unpunished nuisances, is a sign that active-duty forces are being stretched to their limits, military lawyers and mental health experts said. "They are scraping to get people to go back, and people are worn out," said Dr. Thomas Grieger, a senior Navy psychiatrist. Though there are no current studies to show how combat stress affects desertion rates, Grieger cited several examples of soldiers absconding or refusing to return to Iraq because of psychiatric reasons brought on by wartime deployments. http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_5626263

Be careful how broad a brush one uses...
Marines are volunteering to go back, as are elite Army units. It's the National Guard and "support" soliders that are less than interested in doing their duty.
