Reply To: Selective Service System – Do you register your sons?

A “conscientious objector” in the U.S. is someone who has a principled religious/faith or morally based objection to armed combat and typically (although not always) required to serve in some non-combat MOS or provide alternative public service. It was not designed to accommodate wealthy or privileged guys who didn’t want to inconvenience themselves, incur the risk of combat or have to interrupt their life of wealth and privilege for the rigors of military service.
