You're a patriotic American.
You enlist because you believe protecting the country should be the duty of every patriotic American.
You're faced with fighting a war you believe is immoral; not necessarily this war but think of one you might object to -- that war.

What is the moral course of action?

You might say suffering the penalties of objection is the right course.
So should we punish those who feel compelled to serve and leave be those with a lesser sense of duty?

Sincerely curious.
