Exactly. Military members are always getting out because they claim to be "conscientious objectors" as the military calls it. From what I
understand, due to the UCMJ if someone claims to be a conscientious objector they are given noncombatant duty. If they still refuse to work they can
be charged with desertion under article 85 of the UCMJ.

I was also in the Air Force for 6 years and never saw anyone I knew separate because of this. But we were never really at war when I was in either
(97-03). Things are much different now.
Alot of these guys get news stories, blogs, and other stuff written about them and if you do a google search you'll find all kinds of examples of
this happening. Like these guys....

I don't think this one guy is anything special (although it's an interesting story for us on the outside looking into this military conflict which
many of us do not agree with as it is).
