Cpl Wassef Ali Hassoun USMC disappeared from his post in Iraq in 2004. He was immediately listed by the Marine Corps as a deserter. A month later he turned up unharmed in Beirut Lebanon claiming to have been kidnapped. The Marines didn't buy the story and he was transported to Camp Lejeune to await court martial when he disappeared again. Apparently he surfaced last week and the Marines will charge him with desertion and the theft of US property (the pistol in his possession) among other charges. It's interesting to note that the Army did not list Pvt. Bergdahl as a deserter and apparently promoted him twice while he was AWOL.
