The first woman in Tennessee to enlist as a combat engineer in the Army went AWOL according to a military spokesperson. Local 8 News was first to tell you about Erika Lopez back in July of 2015. She made headlines when she enlisted for a job that could involve fighting on the front lines. The U.S. Army had just lifted its ban on women in combat roles when she walked into a recruiting office in Knoxville and decided to enlist as a combat engineer. Lopez was in basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. An Army spokesperson tells Local 8 News that Private Lopez was scheduled to return from convalescent leave on January 4th. She was reported absent without leave (AWOL) on January 5th after she failed to return.
Spokesperson Tiffany Wood issued a statement saying, “After 30 days in an AWOL status, a Soldier is considered a deserter and a federal warrant is issued for his or her arrest.

SO... her being AWOL is somehow a vindication for bigots like Bumbler???
Is the fact that she is AWOL something to celebrate?
If she were the first Italian American in the unit and went AWOL would
Bumbler be just as elated?
Or if she were the first Black, or Hispanic???

You made a lot of inferences from the posting of a news article. I personally think she went AWOL because she's and anti-killing-in-senseless-wars extremist. |

So Cissy concluded that she joined the Combat engineers but she is anti killing in senseless wars. Then why did she join a COMBAT GROUP??? |

Militarism propaganda works! Especially on young and impressionable youth. Not to mention the military pays better than low skilled private industry jobs. But...some people grow and evolve and their belief systems are not so rigid, and some realize the lifetime of emotional trauma caused by killing isn't worth the paycheck. |
