==CO confusion==
Leffingwell, I am glad you asked me this. Last schoolyear, I wrote a paper on York and translated it into a Conservapedia article. I also watched the movie, "Sergeant York", so I think I can answer this.
He DID file as a conscientious objector, but his request was denied because his church was not recognized as a religious organization by the United States government. He never changed his mind while his request was being made. Later, however, his superior officers convinced him that some killing is justifiable. That is where some people believe he changed his mind. York said after his heroics that he saw all of his fellow soldiers being killed and that was what pushed him to stop the German machine gunners.
So, it could be interpreted that he changed his mind, but I don't believe, from what I have read, that York ever liked war or applauded the killing associated with it. He only took lives to save lives. Hope that answers your question Leffingwell!!! --[[User:David R|◄ Ďāʋĭđ Ŕ ►]] 13:59, 23 August 2007 (EDT)
