A Marine Reservist claims he's a pacifist:

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."


Listen; I'm still looking to kick my recruiter's ass when I see him. He misled on things like deployment and duty stations, but I realized that the US military, especially Marines may require killing at some point. I don't think Conscientious Objector quite fits Dude, I think it's more like Wussy that describes you.
