I'm totally with him on that. Usually, though, the Army won't let you out using that excuse. It didn't fly durinig Vietnam. My question is, why did he join the wartime military if he had a problem with shooting at people? That's kind of the idea. Anyway, kudos to him for standing up for his beliefs.
TF- I find it courageous that Brown was able to flex his freedom of choice against the American Military. It takes big balls to stand up and do what you think is right, even if everyone else disagrees with you. I commend anyone with that kind of moxy.
Most important, I am relieved that he had the fortitude to recognize that he wouldn't be able to carry out his mission, thereby jeopardizing his units safety. Our troops have an arduous task in keeping the world free. A soldier needs to be able to "do his job" without hesitation.
Maybe his message of peace will reach across the desert, and we can save more lives.
I'm with TF. He joined the military, and in doing so signed a contract with the American people to serve his country in a time of war. I think he's a chicken shit for doing what he did.
If he can't fire his weapon, lock him up until his term is up, then let him go home.
Nobody- He was an officer from West Point, he would probably have never seen action anyway. I would venture to guess that they don't like to get their hands dirty?
Could you kill a man?
I don't know if I could and I am not even religious.
Besides, the ACLU was suing so the Army most likely wanted to avoid a controversy and just let him go.
Chicken shit or not I admire his ability to stop and say "I can't do this and I won't jeopardize my unit, sorry." Imagine if he were under fire and didn't return, how many people would die because he couldn't fire back.
