Army deserter back in U.S, faces uncertainty

[cal04]

After nearly two years in Canada, U.S. Army deserter Darrell Anderson rode over the Peace Bridge into New York state on Saturday and headed for Kentucky where he will turn himself in to military authorities, he said.

Anderson served for seven months as a specialist in Iraq and received a Purple Heart after being wounded by a roadside bomb.

He said on Saturday he wants to put on his uniform and tell the army of his opposition to the Iraq war.

"I believed it was my human right to choose not to kill innocent people," he told about 20 supporters at an Ontario gathering before heading home.
