I have actually decided to take the step of claiming conscientious objection, but i still don't know where that will take me. I can try to stay in the military, as a noncombatant, or i can try to get out right away. if i stayed in, i could finish out my committment like a good boy, plus ensure that i have a job for the next eight months. but i could also get stuck in for much longer assuming we go to iraq before june. i could say that i don't want to be a part of the military at all, if i can justify that. i feel a great deal of conviction telling me i should not be a part of killing, but does that mean i shouldnt' wear the uniform? or does it mean that I don't carry a weapon? as a part of the AF, our weapons are not usually guns. they are airplanes, and just by doing my job, I am aiding any bombs being dropped. of course, there's not too much bombing going on right now. but if we go to iraq . . . more tough decisions ahead. most of this has to be done alone.
