I was listening to C-Span Book TV yesterday LA Book Fair and this liberal women was speaking about a soldier who applied for Consensus Objector status in Iraq. He refused to load his weapon and said he could not kill anyone. Well this lady was basically saying we should feel sorry for this guy and support him.

I could see her point IF THE GUY WAS DRAFTED!

I mean what was this guy thinking? That he joined the campfire army. We just go to the field and live in tents for the fun of it. I mean wouldn’t you think during basic combat training he would ask the DI, “Ah what’s this rifle and bayonet for?”

A soldier’s job is to kill the enemy period. Yes you do get some benefits, you’re not going to get rich but you get paid well.

I think this guy just wanted a free ride. If it was up to me I would drum him out of the service, bad conduct discharge, and garnish is paychecks until he pays back the thousands of taxpayer dollars it cost to train him.

Or am I wrong in this logic because I’m a Christian gun owning hick who lives in flyover country?

I believe that he needed to declare that status upon volunterring.

If he did, then he would have been denied.

Clown is being nice.

He's liable to end up doing more fighting in prison than he would have in Iraq. If he's not willing to fight there, his sexual orientation is liable to change quickly.

He sounds like one of those idiots who just thought they could get a free ride through college.

Yeah... lots (comparatively speaking) of this volunteer service are refusing to fight and are awol/deserters. I have a special place in my heart for these people...

I doubt that is relevant.

This war has been going on for 5 years, which means that everyone in the military has either enlisted during the war or RE enlisted during the war, everyone in knows they were going to get sent to Iraq, atleast once if not three or 5 times....

this guy is an idiot and needs to be treated as such....
