Excerpt from The Conscientious Objector
Prior to my detail to the Board of Inquiry I had been reviewing, in the Office of the Judge Advocate General, the records of trial by court-martial of conscientious objectors. Although I had never set eyes on a conscientious objector, I firmly believed that they were, as a class, shirkers and cowards.
My first trip as a member of the Board upset most of my ideas regarding the objector. I began to see him in a new light. And an examination of over eight hundred objectors in twenty widely distributed military camps and posts has convinced me that they are, as a rule, sincere - cowards and shirkers, in the commonly accepted sense, they are not. Their sincerity, however, makes them no less a national problem.
What follows is an attempt to present the objector as he appears to a member of the Board. The opinions expressed are not to be taken as those of the Board or of my colleagues on the Board.
