A Sad Tale

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Slovik

Seems strange to think a nation as big as the US have only ever executed one prisoner for desertion.
In fact it puts to shame the UK's killing spree of young/old alike just for not wanting to fight during WW1.
Was he a coward...did he deserve to die...of course not.
