 and Hotline client:\nIn November 2004 Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Pablo 
 Paredes, then 23, refused to board a troop ship headed for the Persian 
 Gulf. “I refuse to go,” he told officers. “"I feel in my mind and 
 heart that this war is illegal and immoral." In May 2005 he was 
 court-martialed and sentenced to 3 months hard labor. He was denied 
 conscientious objector status. “It's no exaggeration to say that I could 
 not have done this without the support of the hotline.”  It's no
