Apparently this "soldier" found God before being deployed to Iraq and decided into his tour there he wants to be a conscientious objector. He failed to convince the Army and decided to take it to magistrate court instead, where he obviously found more sympathetic ears. What gets me is he was baptized in 2001, joined the Army in 2005, served in Iraq in 2006 and 2007, and three months into a deployment decided that he did not want to fight anymore, so he comes up with this. I am sorry, but if you found religion four years *before* you joined the Army, *and* you join an Army at war, you are not a conscientious objector in my book. He had four years to - as he says - Spending my time on this earth killing or supporting killing others is unacceptable to me, Barnes wrote. Serving Jesus is doing the opposite of participating in war. It is loving your enemy, avoiding conflict, being humble and living peacefully. I am unable to serve the Lord and support war. That is four years to figure out what most of us knew when we first started going to church. I knew this well before I ever joined the Army and have no problem serving Jesus and my commander in chief. And no one is asking this pinhead to support war, only to go to war and fight like he is told. He needs to just serve out his time. Since he joined three years ago, the most he has left is three years since the maximum you can enlist for is six years.
