Surprise! Being in the Army may mean going into battle

Steven points out that if you enlist in the armed forces, there may come a time you have to fight. Some people clearly do not understand this simple concept, or do but have low ethical standards, and so the number of Active Duty ‘Conscientious Objectors’ [is] On The Rise. American military personnel have been sent to many different parts of the world, even since the end of the Vietnam War, so to say they never expected this possibility is either foolish or disingenuous. There is no way any of them should be given an honorable discharge; most of them should be required to stay in but in non-combat assignments and if allowed to leave, given a dishonorable discharge (no pension or other veteran’s benefits) and forced to repay any college tuition paid on their behalf to date.
