I figure with the possibility of the wars heating up, now would a good time to prepare lit/resources to demoralize military memebers and give advice on how to get out early.

Any one got any materials or links related to this?

Edit: found this which might be useful for legal avenues of quitting early

Honorably? Unless something major has changed recently, it's Medical Discharge or Suicidal Ideations. There's not a lot of options on getting out of your contract.

Does the Conscientious Objector reason not exist anymore?

I'd imagine it's harder to pull off after you've joined. But I'm curious about this too.

I guess what I'm really looking for are accounts of people quitting the military before their time is up, without suffering extreme consequences

My take on it is that people can change their minds or join a certain religion even after joining so they have to allow for people to do that. It does bar one from ever rejoining but I don't think that'd be a concern for this group.
