I can say that I was heartily against the Iraqi war, until Pres. Bush announced that it was offical. At that point whether or not I agreed with it was moot. My president said go to war, and I would have went.
I see nothing wrong with having conscientious objectors in the military. There are hundreds of roles they can fill and still serve thier country. Is it such a bad thing to not 'want' to kill people?
I believe that he was justly punished for the only actual crime he commited.
I wonder what exactly makes you feel that he should've been more harshly judged. Ok, granted that the guy acted very foolishly, but why is it a good thing that the man's life is probably ruined?

Ugh. Jarheads. I'll never understand you guys. (j/k nothing but respect for the corps.)
