FORT BLISS, Tex., Feb. 5 (AP) — A soldier from Minnesota pleaded guilty on Monday to being absent without leave and missing a flight to Kuwait in July.
The soldier, Specialist Melanie McPherson, 28, told a military judge that she had left for Minnesota the day before her Army unit was to leave for Kuwait because she was afraid that she would be sent to Iraq as a truck driver or a military police officer. Specialist McPherson is trained as a photojournalist.
