9:59Now PlayingMS NOW is reporting that "nearly six months into the United States’ war with Iran — and a year into the Pentagon’s decision to launch deadly strikes to kill alleged drug traffickers — the number of service members seeking a formal discharge from the military as conscientious objectors has skyrocketed, according to two groups that help them file their applications." Jacob Soboroff – in for Nicolle Wallace – is joined by Priya Sridhar, who authored this story, Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, and Paul Rieckhoff for analysis on Deadline White House.
