    'Moral Objection To Killing'

    Join the Marines!

    A U.S. Marine from San Jose has been granted "conscientious objector" status by a federal court. The marine asked to be released from his duties because he has a moral objection to killing.

    You don't join the Marines, if you think you are not going to kill someone.
    Marines kill people. You don't join the Marines for the college benefits, you go to your local community colllege for that..

    good grief.

    Re: 'Moral Objection To Killing'

    Another boot camp instructor showed recruits a "motivational clip" showing Iraqi corpses, explosions, gun fights and rockets set to a heavy metal song that included the lyrics, "Let the bodies hit the floor," the petition said. Zabala said he cried, while other recruits nodded their heads in time with the beat.
    Hell yeah.

    What in the hell did he think the Marine Corps is? What a crybaby.
    "A vile race of Quislings -to use the new word which will carry the scorn of mankind down the centuries- is hired to fawn upon the conqueror, to collaborate in his designs, and to enforce his rule upon their fellow countrymen, while grovelling low themselves."

    Isn't that the point of joining the marines...killing people and blowing stuff up. They should have a contract that they sign where they acknowledge that they might have to kill.

    My hubby just told me, before he had joined the Marines, that he was asked numerous questions, an actual checklist that the recruiter fills out, and one of those questions was do you have a problem with having to kill someone.

    I think conservatives are loonies and that religion is for uneducated sissies.
    So I think I'll go and register at a Conservative News, & Discussion Community.
