"Conscientous objector"

As Hot Air puts it in their headline: "Man who objects to killing people joins the, um, Marines".
Even stupider than the Ehren Watada case, where the objection at least wasn’t to war per se but to the Iraq war specifically. The next thing will be volunteers who conscientiously object to having to carry a gun because they want to fight the jihadis “MacGyver style.”
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.

Unreal.
