Yep, LEJ, I think it went very well! :>)

Carol C: "reasons of conscience." The problem with you reasoning, in my opinon, is that leaves a pretty wide door to go through. One could refuse conscription for almost any reason one could come up with. "I ain't going because I got to pick cotton." "I ain't going because I don't look good in olive drab." "I aint going because I hear the food is terrible." Religion, as a reason, has been a long established reason for refusing to serve in the military (ask Larry)and I think it makes sense to stick with that.
