Army Spc. Darrell Anderson, who drew wide attention for deserting the Army rather than face a possible second tour in Iraq, was released Friday from Fort Knox and is expected to be discharged without a court-martial, his lawyer said.

“It’s really great he doesn’t have to face a court-martial,” said his attorney, Jim Fennerty of Chicago. “I’m all excited, he’s excited.”

Fennerty said Anderson expected to receive papers within 30 days formally giving him a less-than-honorable discharge.

Anderson, 24, turned himself in at Fort Knox on Tuesday, almost two years after fleeing to Canada. He said he could not return to a war he believes is immoral.

Good to see someone stand and do what is right for a change.
