Slow you are an idiot.
1st they can claim "Conscience Objector" status and refuse to fight.
This aint 1969 and we don't have a "draft".
Remember the US Marine, Lance Cpl. Stephen Funk, a few months ago that refused to report to his unit? He said he was against the war in Iraq. Turned out he was Gay
"I was appalled by the amount of hatred I found in the military," he continued. "The military cultivates anti-gay sentiment among its enlisted but I also believe it perpetuates feelings of hatred against all that are different either culturally, ethnically or otherwise," in order to dehumanize potential enemies.
"I believe that as a gay man, someone who is misunderstood by much of the general population, I have a great deal of experience with hatred and oppression," Funk wrote.
He is claiming "conscientious objector" status.
The Marines have assigned him to desk duty in San Jose while his case proceeds.
These 2 dumb arses that ran away to Canada for what?
They wont be killed and certainly would not have went to prison.
Conscientious objector applications, meanwhile, tend to increase during wartime. There were 111 granted during the 1991 Gulf War. 28 were granted last year, military officials said. It's unclear how many such applications have been filed since the Iraq war began, but non-profit groups that counsel people in the military about the process say they've handled more inquiries.
