Former Midshipman scams U.S. taxpayers

Story in NY Times

Shortly after Michael Izbicki, now 25, graduated from the Naval Academy in 2008, he decided that his Christian beliefs would not permit him to take part in war.

I understand being a conscientious objector, but this is a little to upsetting to me. Take a nice education, then all of a sudden when you finish decide you can't be in the military? This is ridiculous. I can't think of a punishment that would suit this. Maybe we should call it fraud. He misrepresented what he was doing. Maybe he can wear a sign that says I lied to get my education anytime he goes to a job interview. Of course the ACLU helped him fight the government.
