USA: Land of Military Slavery for Young Mothers

Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

Kimberly Rivera, the mother of four small children, was arrested at the Canadian border while returning to theUnited States. She faces a term of two to five years in prison for deserting the U.S. Army.

In 2006, Rivera ? who at the time had two small children ? served a tour of duty inIraq. Thoroughly disgusted and disillusioned by that stupid, useless, and immoral war, she fled toCanadain February 2007 while on leave. For the past five years she and her husband and their four children have sought refugee status. Under pressure fromWashington, the Canadian government ? which once offered sanctuary for draft resisters ? has refused to grant refugee status to American soldiers who refuse to participate in undeclared wars.

As if in counterpoint to Rivera?s case, the Pentagon has announced the introduction of combat body armor tailored to the physique of female soldiers.

One of the most compelling arguments against the so-called Equal Rights Amendment was the possibility that it would result in women ? including mothers ? being sent into combat. The ERA was defeated, but we?ve wound up with the same result, thanks toWashington?s irrepressible militarism.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
