 This is an update on a previous article I wrote for LewRockwell.com. I believe that message is even more relevant today. I hope that young men—and those who influence them—act today......

....As I noted in my previous article, if you are against war, you must act today. If the US reimposes the draft, you may be called to serve and to kill. And if the thought of killing to satisfy neocon bloodlust, government control of oil and oil pipelines, or US global hegemony offends your conscience, you must begin preparations to defend your soul.

Events turn quickly. No one can say that war and draft are imminent. Nevertheless, no one can say they aren’t. So it makes sense to be prepared for an event that could happen tomorrow.

When drafted, you can appeal to your local draft board as either an objector to combatant military service (Class 1-A-O) or to all military service (Class 1-O). To win your appeal, you will have to satisfy the board that you meet three criteria: opposition that is based on religious training or belief, ethical or moral belief, and a demonstration that those beliefs are sincere.

It will be your board that initially decides your fate. There are means to appeal to two additional levels, but it would be best to settle this matter as soon as possible. Though your board consists of five members from your local area (likely your county), there are various opinions and beliefs that exist in any area, no matter how ideologically similar that area may appear on the outside.

You must ask yourself who would serve on a local draft board. Would they likely believe in military service? How would they feel about someone objecting, even if that objection were based on sincerely held beliefs? Those questions cannot be answered for your specific board, at least until you stand before them and hear their questions and comments.

One thing you can do today to help your appeal is to write down your objections to war and send that in a certified letter to yourself. Do not open it until your hearing. Another action you can do is talk to your pastor or other mentors or close friends. Express your views and ask them to confirm your objections in a certified letter to you. Also, ask if they would be willing to be one of the three witnesses you can have at your hearing.

Though there are certainly many other actions you can take, those above will provide evidence that your views on war are sincere and deeply held.

If killing will rot your soul, act today.
