Without reading this POSs BS explanation, let me guess the true motive:

"I wanted some easy money and thought it would be fun to play soldier every once in a while. I didn't want to do any real work for it."

People can have valid reasons for not wanting to take another's life, but the woman in question lost me with this statement:

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.

She already contributes to the war effort by paying taxes.

Don't boot her out. Put her in jail for a few years.

The official response should be:

"You don't want to fight? Fine. But you're going to put your time in. If you won't serve military time, you will serve jail time. And, by the way, return every last dime of money you took from the American taxpayers."

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

Boy did she ever misplace her faith....

And Anti-Gun. She probably hated every moment of range time, and probably does not know how to use a M-16 properly.

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.

She enlisted as a cook. Even in medical units, a soldier is required to have some training. Make her wash dishes for Halliburton in their DFAC's.

She learned a useful skill in the military- I say let her go out and use it in the civilian work force...

"Will that be for here or to go?"

Has anyone told her that Crest makes teeth whiteners now...if she's gonna be in the public eye, try to look presentable!

This woman has spent untold thousands in tax dollars for her training and now more untold thousands in lawyer fees for both herself and our country and you are concerned about her nice her teeth look???

After reading essays by Bertrand Russel and traveling to the South Pacific and talking to people from all over the world



Basing your beliefs on reading a philosophy book while sunning yourself on a beach in Tahiti and hitting on guys at the bar is less than a honest way to achieve maturity.

Serve the rest of your voluntary enlistment in Leavenworth, followed by a dishonorable discharge for dereliction of duty and cowardice in the face of the enemy.

AMEN!
I'm embarrassed that this cowardly spoiled b*%#h is from Texas!

She is from Milwaukee, WI, and then went to UT-Austin. UT-Austin is the college for the moonbats down south. It is like UW-Madison here.

Anybody want to guess if her unit is due to rotate to Iraq?

Actually, that is the very reason she became a conscientious objector. The military court saw right through it; it was a case of cowardice, pure and simple!

"..When I enlisted I believed that killing was immoral..I enlisted in the Guard as a cook .."

She's killed hundreds already.
