The Russians have similar problems with men who don’t want to go to war.

The U.s. had/has similar problems, and they call themselves ‘conscientious objectors’.

Many people see them as cowards, who don’t deserve the freedoms that others get for them by fighting for their country.

Conscientious objector was a special class of draft status and 170,000 were granted CO status during the Vietnam era.

In WWII one CO that served but refused to carry a gun was awarded the Medal of Honor and Mel Gibson made a movie about him.
