Soldiers have right of freedom of conscious

FAZ.NET has a story about the lasted ruling of the Federal Administrative Court of Germany (Bundesverwaltungsgericht). The facts of the case are that in April 2003 a major refused to right a certain computer program after a direct order from a superior. He claimed that he had problems with his conscious since is was not ruled out that his program was not used in the war against Iraq. The federal administrative court ruled now that a soldier can claim his base right of freedom of conscious also when he is on duty, if he can prove the severity of his conflict of conscious.
