I have no objection to one using their religious belief as a reason for not serving in one of the armed services. I do not believe one should be excused from the draft solely on the basis that they don't want to go to war. No sane person wants to go to war. Those who are deferred for religious reasons can serve in non-combatant positions, or serve their country in times of war in other capacities such as medics, etc.

Steve: Do you have any strong feelins on the subject? I don't think you should hold back :>)
