Marine Says He's a Conscientious Objector
With his sister carrying his duffel bag and his mother holding his hand, a 20-year-old Marine reservist surrendered to the military Tuesday and declared himself a conscientious objector.
Wearing camouflage fatigues, Lance Cpl. Stephen Funk turned himself in at the locked gates of the Marine Corps reserve center where he was assigned, weeks after refusing to report when called up to active duty.
Funk said he's attended every major San Francisco Bay area anti-war rally since finishing his military training last fall. He insisted his decision had nothing to do with the war in Iraq.
WHAT!?!
Funk, who grew up in Washington state, enlisted when he was 19 and living on his own for the first time. He said he caved in to pressure from a recruiter who capitalized on his vulnerability.
"They don't really advertise that they kill people," Funk said. "I didn't really realize the full implications of what I was doing and what it really meant to be in the service as a reservist."
holy s*it! is this guy for real? I think this demonstrates the level of intelligence found at the typical war protest.
he didn't know that marines kill people... hasn't he ever seen Full Metal Jacket??
JEEESUS H CHRIST!!!
WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION PYLE!!!
