My cat is a conscientious objector.

My cat would never receive a military rank. She's too much of a wimp, anyways. Ok. She's not really a wimp, but she is skittish as all get out.

I was thinking, after I read the article, how does a cat adjust to civilian life after his or her tour of duty?

This reminds me, for some reason, of the cat from Trekkies whose owners dressed him up as Dr. McCoy and called him "Bones."
