Conscientious objection on trial
05/09/05
That's right, President Bush's overreaching has put the most powerful country in human history in fear fear that the U.S. will not be able to handle likely conflicts. As a result of that fear the conscientious objection of soldiers is not something they want to hear. But, they will hear it. And, more importantly, more and more Americans will hear it. They will learn that our soldiers are being ordered to commit acts they find unconscionable. Our youth will hear that if they enlist, they can't get out and recruitment will be made more difficult. Sgt. Benderman has already won. The question is how will the U.S. military handle the reality of a man of conscience?
