The Center on Conscience and War, which helps run a 24-hour GI Rights Hotline, is set up to inform members of the U.S. armed forces about their options for military discharge. The group has recently experienced a spike in calls by active-duty servicemen and women asking how they can become conscientious objectors. In this article, Bill Galvin, the center’s counseling director, told National Public Radio in early April that nearly all the callers he talks to mention the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran on February 28, the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war, which killed at least 165 civilians, most of them children. A preliminary assessment determined the U.S. military was at fault.
