Soldier flees to Canada rather than return to Iraq

Rather than face another tour of duty in Iraq, a US soldier who received a Purple Heart medal after he was wounded by a roadside bomb has deserted to Canada.

Darrell Anderson, 22, wounded in Iraq last April, was deeply disillusioned about the war, said his mother, Anita Anderson. The possibility of another tour in Iraq this summer was something he could not face, she said.
