Reply #203: Conscientious objector status is extremely difficult [View All]

[Guaranteed]

to attain. In order to be a legal conscientious objector, you have to be able to state under oath that you would never, ever, even if you or your family were being threatened with death, use any kind of lethal force on someone. It's basically a religious issue- you have to be a total and complete pacifist.
I hardly believe that anyone already in the military could legitimately say that they're %100 pacifist. You'd think they usually root those about before enlistment.
