"I had originally applied for Conscientious Objector status, and it was turned down by the Army, on the grounds of a question that they're not even supposed to ask in the process, which is if our camp in Kandahar, which is where I was when the hearing took place was attacked, would I help defend it, and I said, well, if your house is burglarized, would you try to restrain the burglar. Probably. But that doesn't mean that you are going to use the same logic to commit premeditated first degree murder, which is essentially what we in the Infantry do on a collective level." - JEREMY HINSMAN
"Yeah. I mean, I – I was – I applied for Non-combatant status in the Army. I didn't apply for total discharge." - JEREMY HINSMAN
Im pretty sure ANY job in the Army results in the death of people, directly or indirectly. Merely voting for Bush or Kerry will result in more death. Good thing there are only two canidates on the ballot in my state.
As for a draft.. You never know, an illegal war has been declared. Anything can happen. Brazil is looking nice this time of year.
