This week, we’re highlighting Cary Donam, who was the first and only #WestPoint student to pursue #conscientiousobjector status. Despite the #Army refusing to grant him CO status, Cary was ultimately honorably discharged.

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.
Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.
Oath is to defend the Constitution not a person
Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.
Not just the right.
The DUTY.

See my post on conscientious objectors. A commanding officer is obliged to accommodate the application until the case is ruled upon, which can take months.

On this day in 1945, Desmond Doss became the only conscientious objector to receive the U.S. Medal of Honor. He was a member of a combat unit, but, because of his religious beliefs, he refused to carry a rifle.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil.
Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Military folks: there may be other options available even if you don't qualify for c.o. status. But you won't know unless you talk to someone. The GI Rights hotline is a good first step. 👇
