OUTSIDE SCHNEWS: JOE GLENTON RELEASED
Anti-war campaigner and Afghanistan veteran Joe Glenton was released on Monday (12th) after serving four months in a military prison for going AWOL (see SchNEWS 713).
After witnessing first-hand some of the horrors of war, Joe wisely decided to take no further part in Britain’s imperialist crusades and did a runner in 2007 after he was refused treatment for post-traumatic stress and ordered back into combat. On his return to the UK in 2009 he turned himself in, but not before going public with vocal criticisms of the war in Afghanistan.
