The USMC's version of Sgt Bergdahl.

via National Review Online...
Ten years ago this month, U.S. Marine Wassef Ali Hassoun disappeared from Camp Fallujah in Iraq. After a five-month military investigation, he was charged with desertion and theft, brought back to Virginia’s Quantico Marine base, and then transferred to North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune for trial.  Yet, a full decade later, Hassoun is as free as a bird.  The accused deserter’s whereabouts are unknown. No trial ever began. No punishment ensued.
And our leaders in Washington don’t seem to be doing a thing about this.  Hassoun was born in Lebanon and immigrated with his family to Utah in 1999. A few years later,  he joined the Marines as an Arabic translator. On June 20, 2004, Hassoun bailed on guard duty at
his base in Fallujah. He took his military-issued gun and his Muslim prayer rug. Military records
obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune showed that he was “torn between military loyalty and his
Muslim beliefs.”  According to the internal probe, he undermined intelligence-gathering operations by refusing to  translate questions about Islam. He balked at raising his voice to suspected jihadi imams and sheiks. e openly threatened to “walk out the front gate and leave.”
The Muslim Marine told his colleagues he supported Hezbollah terrorist attacks on Israel. Members of his unit told investigators he was “anti-American” and listened to jihad sermons on propaganda CDs. Hassoun had received spiritual counseling from Navy Lieutenant Commander Abuhena Saifulislam, a Muslim military chaplain tied to a radical Wahhabist outfit under federal investigation, according to Hoover Institution fellow and journalist Paul Sperry.
Read about this traitorous bastard here.  

Then punch walls, break things and think about how this fucked up war has been conducted.  We should have won easily but the powers that be insisted on being politically correct instead of militarily wise.  It cost us lives.

This guy should be on every wanted poster in America.  Instead it takes Michelle Malkin to raise awareness.  But even more troubling is how quiet this was kept.  I NEVER HEARD OF THIS INCIDENT!
