That isn't exactly fair to him, He was NEVER a soldier, his entire career with the Baa'thist Party was as a Political organizer/ activist. The only time he ever attempted a direct action, (assassinating the Prime minister ) his pistol jammed, in the only other documented armed encounter he engaged in when all the real fighters with him were killed he surrendered and was exiled. His actions were completely in keeping with his past, and the finality of his sentence probably came as a huge shock to him.
That and the 'sudden stop' at the end.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
