Conscientious Objector

Conscientious Objector information
There are two types of Conscientious Objectors in the United States military. They are all servicemembers who have religious, moral, or ethical grounds for not participating as a combatant in war. Some conscientious objectors have accepted non-combatant roles and remained in the military. Others find that their beliefs do not allow them to continue to be a member of a military which supports war-as even noncombatant roles are crucial to the military war effort.
