Isn't this kind of stuff screened before enlisting a person?

And if you change your mind afterwards well then tough chit.

Sounds like she only believes in the power of humanity from the safety under her bed.

Someone should ask her at a press conference what her stance is on abortion.

Violence only begets more violence.

She disproved that assertion with her own position. She believes violence should be met by passive surrender.

"A bully is beating me up, Mom -- what should I do?" "Just let him keep beating you up, dear -- fighting back would be violence, and violence only begets more violence!"

Ship her out on the next plane.

Just as others have faith in God, I have faith in humanity.

Then she should have faith in her fellow human soldiers and hang tough with them. To leave them at a time like this would be to lose faith in them.

Get her out and get her gone. This is nothing special.
Do the paper and send her home on the bus. Nothing to see here.

I have a deeply held belief that people must solve all conflicts through peaceful diplomacy and without the use of violence. Violence only begets more violence.

Where was she talking out the muSlimes when they piloted the aircrafts into the Twin Towers? Ain't world nice without the wars and with peaceful diplomacy Eh?

Hmmm. She's obviously not much of a history buff.

Dishonorable discharge for her. Period.

Typical neo-hippie denying that people can be evil and must be stopped, oh, unless their name is Bush.. but Saddam, no, he is just misunderstood..

I would have been far more sympathetic if she became a Buddhist or Catholic Nun and objected on newly found religious grounds.

After reading essays by Bertrand Russel

You can stop reading right there. It's no different than reading Marx, Lenin, Mao, Giap etc. (Just another Leftist useful idiot.)

Good point. She should be allowed out only if she reimburses the Army for the cost of her training, uniforms and every penny she's collected.

If she hates the military so much, and she supports commies, then why did she enlist?

THE $$$$.

Like many teenagers who leave their home for the first time, I went through a period of growth and soul searching.

She obviously didn't find anything.

It's called college at UT-Austin. It is more to the left than UW-Madison, full of leftwing professors. If she was a moonbat before going to college, then she really was one afterword.

And why did she go to Texas. She could have fit in right here in Madison.

If she "believe[s] so-stromgly in non-violence", why did she join the ARMY national Guard???

What an idiot.

Right then.
Off to jail she goes, so she can fulfill her legal obligations, just as she claims a willingness to do.
Actually, I can respect a self-admitted delusional coward who makes his/her position known well prior to deployment, more than I would a regular run of the mill coward who claims CO status after he/she gets deployment orders.
She should have been weeded out in BMT, but some coast under the radar.
Off to jail and/or a dishonorable discharge.

I would thank her to STFU.

One possibility that was used in earlier wars would be to put her in a medical unit. Since she lacks the training, she could work as a gopher or clerk or something.

In any base, are they using women as combat troops these days? Is anyone asking her to kill anybody?

Not In Our Name is run by the Revolutionary Communist Party, a party whose symbol is a rifle and a bayonet.

This chick is SO stupid to work with them doing this...
The "Peace Movement" has so many liars in it.

"Because I believe so strongly in non-violence, I cannot perform any role in the military. Any person doing any job in the Army, contributes in some way to the planning, preparation or implementation of war."

---TRANSLATION---

I have finished college.
The G.I. Bill helped me tremendously.
I not longer need any monetary help from the "military war machine" of the United States.
Thank you very much.

When I served, this could get you in prison...now it gets you a book deal.
