“I love the Army, and I love the lifestyle. But I can’t see the justification in this.”
“I’m opposed to taking the life of another human being. I understand there are situations where we react to human instincts and in self-defense, but to aggressively and collectively destroy another human life, my conscience won’t allow me to do it.”
Travis is currently a student at Humboldt State University in Northern California and is an active member of the local Veterans for Peace chapter.
“I support war resisters and I think the peace movement should, also, with our money, energy, and morally. I wish my son, Casey, had refused to go.”
