Wouldn't be the first to benefit from THAT attitude...

Not so much the story itself, about a US soldier applying for refugee status in Canada, but the last couple of lines...

Sgt. Pam Smith, a spokesperson for the 82nd Airborne based at Fort Bragg, N.C., said Hinzman could be arrested in the U.S., and would be put on a national database.

But she said the army won't search him out.

"We don't have time to go and track down people who go [absent without leave]," she said. "We're fighting a war."
