Description
Army Denies Conscientious-Objector Status Without Basis in Fact--Hanna v. Secretary of the Army, 513 F.3d 4 (1st Cir. 2008) A 1962 Department of Defense (DOD) directive authorizes the discharge from service of military members with religiously based conscientious objections to war. (1) A conscientious objection is "a firm, fixed and sincere objection to participation in war in any form ... because of religious training and belief." (2) In Hanna v. Secretary of the Army, (3) the First Circuit considered whether the Army had a "basis in fact" for denying the applicant conscientious- objector status. (4) The court held that the decision of the Department of the Army Conscientious Objector Review Board (Board) was without a basis in fact because the Board lacked hard, reliable, articulable facts for denying the claim.
