"My conscience won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn't put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. ... Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail."

I don't blame him. It was a darker and different time then. He did more for peace in the world than most. I don't support his decision to not go to war, but I respect his right as an American to be a conscientious objector.
