A soldier goes where he is told to....
He obeys the chain of command clicks his heels and does what the hell he is told....
If he is not willing to do this than a life in the military is not where he belongs.
He was not drafted, everyone knows when they go in the military that there is a chance that they will go to combat, guess what that is what armies do.
This man should be court martialed and probably will be and he should be tried for desertion, soldiers who desert during war have been executed in the past.
He should at the very least spend the better half of his life behind bars.
Many brave men are out there day in and day out doing their duty for their country. He has shamed himself and his family.
He is a coward.

I think calling him a coward is a bit extreme considering he enlisted after 9/11 and served in combat in Afghanistan.
The fact that he doesn't wish to serve in Iraq may show that he is either a damn fool for signing up in the first place or he has had second thoughts due to thinking which is apparently a no no in that line of work but regardless, yes, he should be prepared for the punishment which is pretty damn sad, in that our government would choose to pay to lock him up when they could probably make better use of him by simply sending him back to Afghanistan instead.
