US soldier who paid to be shot to avoid Iraq pleads guilty - International Herald Tribune: "US soldier who paid to be shot to avoid Iraq pleads guilty"

NEW YORK: A U.S. soldier pleaded guilty Tuesday to filing a false police report after admitting he paid someone to shoot him in the leg to avoid another tour of duty in Iraq.

He should have stuck to his story, now three people are going to jail. I'm not sure how I feel about someone dodging their military duty... I spent three years in the army but was never in a war, but this war should never had happened. Afghanistan I understood but the war in Iraq was nothing more than The Bush & Co. flexing their collective hard on's.
