LOS ANGELES An A-W-O-L Army medic who served a year in Iraq, then left his unit in Germany rather than be sent back, says war is immoral. snip

Aguayo has fought more than two years for conscientious objector status and a discharge. He lost a suit against the Army, but if he wins on appeal, it would negate any conviction. Arguments will be heard in November.

Meantime, he says he can live with doing jail time, but not with war, which he calls unacceptable to God. The 34-year-old soldier has twin daughters. His wife says she's "truly proud of him."
