Some halfwit named Air Force Staff Sergeant Nathan Rodriguez thought it would be a great idea to post his application for conscientious objector to Lew Rockwell’s website<\/a>. His explanation of his views is fairly typical of what we’ve heard over the years, Raised in a Republican home, growing up as a conservative, the “horrors” of war that he witnessed as an Air Force commo guy and what he “studied” led him to his suddenly anti-war leanings.<\/p>\n

he begins his story telling us that he joined the Air Force as a stepping stone to a career as a politician, and I’m guessing that goal hasn’t changed since, instead of quietly filing his application and hoping for the best, he’s broadcasting his intentions to the world to make a name for himself.<\/p>\n

Abiding by the Non-Aggression Principle, and adhering to Scripture, I realized that my service was in direct contradiction to my personal beliefs. This came to fruition before my deployment to Afghanistan in July 2011. The duties I carry out directly leads to the loss of life. This fact has been stated numerous times during official AF classes and formal gatherings, such as CC calls, and official creeds.<\/p>\n

The thought of me as a “warrior” for the USAF is a nauseating one. I do not wish to fight any man or group of people I have never interacted with or who have never caused harm to my life or property. It is obvious wars are fought between states and not between the people, though others would have everyone believe otherwise. I am surrounded by this nationalistic aura that I fail to agree with. I am encouraged to be proud of the military heritage, and what is has supposedly accomplished. I am expected to give respect to murderers in the name of the beloved country. All these sentiments weigh heavy in my soul and the toll of my mind has been great.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know how many people he had to murder as an AF commo guy, but I’m guessing I could easily count to that number even though I’m merely an infantryman. I’m guessing that the political climate has changed since he put his grand political plan into action and since he liked the beer more than he liked taking college classes got in the way of educational plans, so he wants to get out of the service and play with someone’s private parts instead of being an airman.<\/p>\n

No matter what job he has in the Air Force, he was never a “warrior”, he’s just little pussy who has been gobsmacked by reality. Nothing in that letter indicates to me that he is really a conscientious objector. <\/p>\n
