[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2527511, member: 2550"] Wouldn't it be more than symantics??? A speeding ticket and a car crash/wreck aren't the same. They do involve a vehicle but there are laws governing fines (ticket) all the way to vehicular homicide. Just curious why the media likes to use deserter instead of defector. A lectern is not a podium. A car is not a pick-up. A whale is not a fish. A defector needs a more severe punishment than just a deserter. Running to Canada to avoid the draft is not the same as running across a war zone to either aid or receive anything from the enemy. I just wish the media would correct that. Yea, I know, wishful thinking. [/QUOTE]
