Now, how can this be dealt with, considering that the deserters are also active members of the DR military and police force.
What do you mean?
This is a social problem where an individual see no other way to get out of their socio/economical dark hole. These are desperate choices made in desperate times. Get them the chance for good education, jobs and better living conditions and they would never leave.
These guys are not happy to leave their family,friends and home behind. It is sad!!!
Of course it's a social problem, just like rape, murder, robbery, and crime in general, committed by desperate people in desparate times, trying to get out of their socio/economical dark hole. Of course they're not happy, and hate to serve time, leaving their family, friends and home behind. Of course, giving them a good education, jobs, and better living conditions would have kept them away from crime. It is sad!!! Now, back to the issue of military deserters, I understand they're dealt harshly in every country.
