In all of wars what prevented a soldier who country was invading another or vice versa just walk off and say screw this. Find a town to settle down in and just start a new life?
It can be hard to start over in a new place when you don't speak the language or have any ties. You might be killed by locals if they think you're a spy. If your army caught you, they would have you killed.
Back the train up yes I am US went to school in US and never even heard about Troops doing messed up things. I mean no sarcasm in this btw. Can you provide some links on what you are referring to?
Hey Dude or Dudette I just got around to reading this. Sorry for the late reply. How come GI's did this? Also if I was going to live there wouldn't it be up to me to kick the ever living day lights out of the men commiting this? What I meant was maybe get a house home or whatever. For pretty cheap since France was bombed to shit. Fix it up grow a decent garden and maybe open up a free for all farmers market?
Assuming your service ended at that point and you were free to leave, it'd certainly be easier than deserting into enemy territory. France just after WW2 was pretty war-torn and full of refugees, so it wouldn't have been the easiest place to live for the first several years at least.
Depends on the time period, the war, and how culturally related the locale is. Retribution by their former employers, and hostility from the locals, were generally major concerns.
Didn't the news have a story not that long ago about that one US solider who went into North Korea? I swear didn't happen that long ago. I think they kicked him out anyway, but I wonder what he's doing now.
This happens all the time and is called desertion.

Lets say WW2 and we free France what prevents me from saying fuck this I am staying in France where they at least used to love Americans?
