I could be wrong but I believe Robert Zabala never actually went into combat. He was a Marine Reservist who felt disgusted by the brainwashing and programing that happens during boot camp and with help from the GI Rights Counseling team of the RCNV he received Conscientious Objector status before his unit was deployed to Iraq.

A previous post explains it well:
