Pfc. Kimberly Rivera was sentenced to 10 months in prison and a bad-conduct discharge after entering her plea at a court-martial.
Rivera, 30, was a wheeled-vehicle driver in Fort Carson's 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and served in Iraq in 2006. She has said that, while there, she became disillusioned with the U.S. mission in Iraq.
During a two-week leave in the U.S. in 2007, Rivera crossed the Canadian border after she was ordered to serve another tour in Iraq.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that when judge Col. Timothy Grammel asked Rivera on Monday how long she remained absent, Rivera replied: "As long as I possibly could, sir. ... I intended to quit my job permanently."
After fleeing to Canada, Rivera applied for refugee status but was denied.

Hey Fatass, I'm sorry your Cowards to Canada Refugee mission failed but I can't believe someone thought it was a good idea to reproduce with your awful genetics.
Rather than waste anymore tax dollars on you, I would prefer to leave you in a dimly lit room with every female soldier whose image you have tarnished even though they did not join to use the military as a benefits whore and then purport that they were held there against their will.
