I think that this was just a ploy to get that West Point education. That $200,000 scholarship. You know, if you drop out while there, you have to pay some of that back. but he graduated, and now gets that prestigous diploma too. They should have made him stay in as a Chaplin then.

I respect the right to conscienciously object. It is not necessarily cowardice. In this case, it seems to be either cowardice or a scam, as many here state, to get a free, top notch education.
There's no reason for conscietious objectors to not serve out their obligations in the military- there are other things they could do that doesn't involve shooting at the enemy.

He should have to repay part of his tuition. Not sure what the West Point contract is like, but, I suspect they look formore than 2 1/2 years of service after graduation.
Well, it sounds like he made this decision after he served. Not sure you can call someone a coward after.
Well, if he serious, nothing wrong with it. Jesus Christ first, country second.
But soemthing sure doesnt' smell right here. He could easily do the work that Jesus Christ has called us to do in the military. Imagine all the witnessing he could have done in the military. Or work at field hospitals.
The amish pull this crap and that angers me.
I will be a happy man, if I get out of this world without taking a life.
If you enlist or whatever into the army, you know that you may have to kill someone....sounds like a ploy cause he wasnt "army strong" .....Get him on out.....
What a coward
