Why do orthodox Jews living in the US get an exemption from military service?

Bear in mind that there has been no military draft in the US for a number of decades; the US has an all volunteer military. Hence, nobody is compelled to perform military service and nobody has to seek an exemption from military service. If you don't want to be in the military, you simply don't enlist. However, during the time when the US did have a military draft, it was possible to obtain an exemption on religious grounds. In the case of Orthodox Jews, there would be a problem because the US military is not prepared to serve kosher food to its members, and in general, it would be very difficult to comply with the ritual requirements of Judaism while serving in the US military. Also note, Judaism is not the only religion which can serve as a basis for an objection to military service. There are pacifistic religions, such as the Quakers, who do not believe in violence, even when used for the defense of the nation. Since the US constitution guarantees freedom of religion, it was felt to be appropriate to give draft exemptions to people who had some religious objection to military service.
