Conscientious objector recalled
Submitted by Rick on Thu, 01/12/2006 - 7:09am.

From WLTX.com:

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - An Olympia, Washington, man seeking conscientious objector status after being recalled by the military has reported as ordered to Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

Mark Moore says he's still awaiting a response to his latest conscientious objector application.

Moore served three years in the Army before he left in 2003. He said his experience prompted him to not want to bear arms for his country.

Moore was placed on the Individual Ready Reserve, meaning he could be called back to active-duty before his eight-year commitment ends in 2007. He received orders to return to the Army in June.
