OK I get the conscientious objection thing. There are religions that have a history of it such as those in the Anabaptist tradition. Then there are those who object for their own reasons, not because of the religion they belong to—but they are pacifists of some definition. Then there are those who just don’t have to go. I don’t know how long the US can keep up without having a draft. Just hope the crap really doesn’t start flying more than it has already.
So make these folks work as orderlies or other jobs at VA hospitals or on bases where they don’t have a gun, but still they are doing something for the country.
draft = slavery
