Rules of Disengagement
Lessons from veterans and active duty service members in
opposition to US interventionist military policy Rules
of Disengagement examines the reasons men and women in the
military have disobeyed orders and resisted the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It takes readers into the courtroom where sailors,
soldiers, and Marines have argued that these wars are illegal under
international law and unconstitutional under US law. Through the
voices of active duty service members and veterans, it explores the
growing conviction among our troops that the wars are wrong. While
the Obama Administration's pledge to remove all American troops
from Iraq by the end of 2011 is encouraging - and in no small way
likely attributable to resistance by our armed forces - it
continues to fight in Afghanistan, and the military may soon have a
heightened presence elsewhere in the Middle East and in Africa. As
such, Rules of Disengagement provides inspiration and
lessons for anyone who opposes an interventionist US military
policy.

Selective Conscientious Objection and the Right Not to Kill
Although the character of recent US military aggressions have obviated the need for a popular draft, the issue of conscientious objection is still important and still unresolved. There is a strong moral and legal basis for the right not to kill, the protection of which should be purchased at some cost to social utility.

Selective Service and Conscientious Objectors
Local Board Memorandum No. 107, issued by the Selective Service System shortly after the 1970 Welsh decision, sets forth for members of local boards the criteria for classification of conscientious objectors. The memorandum has attracted unreasonable criticism from two groups: those who believe that the Welsh decision does not apply to the Selective Service as amended in 1967 and those who argue that the memorandum does not enlighten local board members in a way that is consistent with the Welsh ruling.
