Army Intelligence Specialist Corey Martin joined the military in 2001. In December, 2005, he applied for conscientious objector status rather than go to Afghanistan. “I realized my intelligence work could lead to someone’s dying who would otherwise live,” he said. The Army tried twice more to deploy him, but granted CO status and an honorable discharge in May 2006.
