Yes. When he gets out of the brig in a few years, with a felony conviction and dishonorable discharge, will the anti-war groups support him since he will be unemployable?.
Will he wonder "Maybe I should have just told Chief I was gay..."?

"The difference is that a conscientious objector is a pacifist and is opposed to ALL wars. The other one opposes that one particular conflict he wants to wriggle out of serving in. "
There have been many brave conscientious objectors that have served as medics.

I agree, a Conscientious Objector will still do his duty, he usually just won't carry a weapon.
Desmond Doss of the 77th Infantry won the Medal of Honor on Okinawa
The famous Sgt. York of WW I was a CO too, I believe;
They both did their duty and fulfilled their oaths.
