Cliff Cornell charged with desertion
Arkansas Online has an update on former Gabriolan Cliff Cornell: Soldier from Arkansas charged with desertion.
Fort Stewart commanders have filed a desertion charge against a soldier accused of fleeing to Canada four years ago to avoid the war in Iraq, a spokesman for the Georgia Army post said Thursday.
Spc. Cliff Cornell, 29, will now face an investigation to determine whether his case should be handled administratively or sent to a court-martial, said Maj. Lee Peters, a Fort Stewart spokesman.

Any word about what’s happening to Cliff Cornell now? Haven’t heard anything for a week. Wish there were something I could do to support that young man. It takes a lot to stand for your principles. Especially when a lot of folks in Mountain Home would think you were a bit peculiar for the stand you take.
