this article is alternately sad, funny, pathetic, and demonstrative of a total lack of common sense.
Quaker deserts as unit deploys
Hinzman, who grew up in Rapid City, S.D., joined the Army in January 2001. The socialist structure of the military appealed to him, he said
Socialist Structure? WTF...he's one confused SOB.
He liked the subsidized housing and groceries and, at the end of his service, the money for college
Oh! He's a Liberal...
"I had a romantic vision of what the Army was."
Is this a homoerotic reference?
"Would he defend his unit if attacked? - destroyed his chances. He said he answered yes, reasoning that he had no choice if he was forced to carry a gun. "I was a little bit too honest, I guess," he said.
So he really doesn't object to killing if it's to protect himself
"Had we, say, gone to war with North Korea or someone that was an imminent threat, I would have gone along with it," he said. "I signed up to defend our country, not be a pawn in some sort of political ideology."
Yep...he's a Liberal...
"Through his philosophical objections to the Army, Hinzman has received much support from Quakers in Fayetteville and Toronto. He has always been interested in Buddhism, he said, but joined the Friends Meeting after he moved to Fayetteville and couldn't find a place to worship in the Buddhist faith."
Situational religious beliefs...suspiciously convenient
he's messed his life pretty well so far...
