Soldiers of Conscience

I believe that the change in policy allowing women to serve in combat is great. This shows how much times are changing and how women are finally gaining the same rights as men. After watching "Soldiers of Conscience", my view on war completely changed. Watching made-up movies about war brings a completely unrealistic side to it. This documentary shows how hard it is for soldiers to be able to kill other human beings. Seeing the soldiers chant about killing others just appalled me. If I was drafted into the military I would definitely be very nervous and not know how to respond. If I had to choose between the two, I would pick conscientious objector because there is no way I would be able to kill an innocent human being. My faith greatly informs this decision because it has been stated in the Ten Commandments "Thou shall not kill". Even though I would not want to be a soldier, I greatly appreciate the American soldiers that fight for our country every day to keep us safe.
