An American soldier named Cliff Cornell is currently in jail for desertion. He has been granted an early release and he still refuses to fight in the Iraq war. Cliff Cornell stated, "If I had to do it again, I would because I'm not killing innocent people." He then went on to say he stood by his decision one hundred percent. When he gets out of jail he plans to spend some time with his family then immigrate to Canada. Cornell fled to Canada one month before he was suppose to leave to Iraq. He feared his life and didn't have the stomach to kill anyone. Cornell lived in British Columbia for four years until the Canadian Government forced him to leave. It is now a debate if they will let 28 year old Cliff Cornell back into Canada
Personally I wouldn’t let this man back into Canada. He signed up for the military than just left them, deserted them. He signed a contract basically devoting his life to them and then he ran away. If he didn't want to do the military he didn't have to sign up but, because he did than fled he's a criminal and I don’t think he should be allowed back into Canada
