Food and beverages. Cafe atmosphere. Party for Peace.



Agustin Aguayo realized after about one year of service in the military that his beliefs had changed to the point that he could no longer in good conscience be a part of the armed forces. He first applied for discharge as a conscientious objector in February of 2004. While his application was being processed, he was sent to Iraq as a medic, where he refused to load his weapon even when put on guard duty. His application was denied by the Army while he was still in Iraq, but because it had been seriously mishandled, he had a chance to challenge the ruling by filing a habeas corpus in federal court.



The habeas corpus was denied on August 24, 2006, and exactly one week later, Aguayo's unit in the 1st Infantry Division was to deploy once again to Iraq. He made it clear to his chain of command that as a conscientious objector, it was against his beliefs to participate in war in any form and he would not deploy.
