Jail for Desertion for US Women Soldier


Kimberley Rivera deserted from a deployment in Iraq in 2007 and fled to Canada.She has been sentenced for 10 months imprisonment in Military Prison.

During Vietnam war about 50,000 US soldiers have fled to Canada and were welcomed by Canada. Jimmy Carter offered them amnesty and most returned. But now US Military is an all volunteer force. Canadian authority had denied Rivera's request for refugee status and she moved to US Canada border where she was arrested.
