Most of my friends in Iraq (3 in the Army, 2 in the Marines) are seriously considering becoming conscientious objectors because they feel like they are the invaders instead of the protectors. They want to be with their family and friends and they are afraid that they aren't doing the right thing.

I should have clarified in my earlier post I suppose. He is not overseas at the moment, but is preparing to be later on (he's already been on one tour). Regardless, it could have been said for ANY soldier over there, and I would love nothing more than to see them all come home. But I'm understanding that they've been given a duty to follow through on, whether they want to do it or not, and I support them in that also.
