40 minutes.
That's all it took to rub Pablo's *patooey* nose in the crap he's created:
Military judge convicts sailor who refused to deployPity that the judge dismissed the second change - Unauthorized Absence - but at least the convicion was swift.
SAN DIEGO - A military judge today convicted a Navy sailor of one count for missing his ship's movement when he refused to board the USS Bonhomme Richard as it deployed to the Persian Gulf in December.
The judge, Lieutenant Commander Bob Klant deliberated about 40 minutes before finding Petty Officer Third Class Pablo Paredes guilty of the charge. He dismissed a second count of unauthorized absence, ruling the charge was duplicative.
Paredes stood at attention as the judge read the sentence, following the day's court-martial proceeding. The trial is now in the sentencing phase.
Paredes, a 23-year-old from the New York City borough of the Bronx, could receive a year in jail, a forfeiture of pay, reduction in rank and a bad-conduct discharge.
Pablo *patooey* will now face the sentencing phase of the court martial and the time in the brig followed by the inability to get a job outside of Burger King or the *cough* anti-war movement where he might continue to be a whiny-ass punk...
UPDATE: I was talking with the wife about this last night and she pretty much suggested exactly what Gordon said in comments:
Send him non-rated to the Carrier, stripped of all rank and clearances, most of his pay, and put him on the CHT Team.And while I've been a big proponant of this punk getting his head squished by the Navy, but this would be infinitely better: make him suffer on the boat....
UPDATE: Pablo *patooey* was reduced in rank to E-1 and was sentenced to three months hard labor.
Pitiful, but at least he got something.....selfish piece of sh!t.

I hope he gets a reduction in rank and gets returned to service. I really do. Put his ass right back on the boat.

On second thoguht, the best place for him is to be reatined somehow, wheter it be in the brig or ona ship, who cares. Right now, he's a pawn for the moonbats.
Send him non-rated to the Carrier, stripped of all rank and clearances, most of his pay, and put him on the CHT Team.

Contrary to what you may have read in the "MSM" or on right-wing blogs, most people outside the US dont' care about the plight of deserters (at this moment- i could easily change)
For example, in Canada, one deserter by the name of Jeremey Hizeman(sp- i should check this before i "name" him) entered and requested asylum when he as called up for deployment in Iraq on the ground that he was now a pacifist as a result of newly acciquired religious convictions
His request was denined on the grounds that 1) there was no draft in place- he voluntarly signed on 2)He was inconsistent in his statements regarding his pacifism (he said he would fight if his life was in danger) and 3) he was part of the 101st Airborne, which teached specalized combat skills and which he signed up for freely.
It should be noted that prior to his asylum hearing, most of the "liberal" Canadian media also held the opinion that his claim should be refused.
Just thought you'd like to know.

Apparently Lieutenant Commander Bob Klant made a statement to the effect that troops could reasonably believe that the war in Iraq was an illegal war, thus his leniency. Interesting, ain't it...
