The logic I fault is that logic which states that not fighting hard even killing to preserve those whose lives are your responsibility seems to me illogical. I do not accept the premise that there is nothing worth killing for while both I and combat medics/corpsmen who are conscientious objectors share agreement with the premise that there are some things and people worth risking death for.

The above said they do have my utmost respect.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

I know a man who was drafted. Asked to be a medic, so he wouldn't have to shoot anyone. He didn't think it was right for the U.S. to be in 'nam, and didn't want to compromise his own principles.

Had it been December of '41; he'd have been the first to enlist... He just didn't think South Vietnam was worth defending.
