Nobody Wants Poster Boy Corey Glass

Turns out that Corey is away with leave and nobody cares. At least here in the US. Twits in Toronto have their panties in a bunch, but how new is that problem.

He is not considered absent without leave. He is not considered a deserter," Maj. Nathan Banks, a U.S. army spokesman, told ABC. "He is running for no reason. He is fully welcome in the United States. I cannot believe this is a big deal in Canada."

When the news organization reached Glass with the news, he was flabbergasted. "I had absolutely no idea that I had been discharged. This is insane. This is so weird. There are no warrants? No one is looking for me?"
A fugitive with no one chasing him.
