Who were the conscientious objectors?
Conscientious objectors, were a class (category) of men, who when INDUCTED (conscripted/drafted) into military service, would express their beliefs that it was wrong to kill other human beings, and they themselves would prefer that the US government not put them into a situation that might call for them to have to kill or harm another human being. The majority of Conscientious Objectors accepted induction into the military, and were assigned non-combat duties (rear jobs) such as clerks, religious dutes (the Chaplin service within the military), but the vast majority of them served in the military's MEDICAL CORPS. Which unfortunately, placed many of them in harm's way, when they became MEDIC's on the battlefield's of Vietnam. The status of "Conscientious Objector" may have also reached the level of abuse, by resisting the "draft" as conscientious objectors. That status may not have been valid (for avoiding military service to their country) for the vast majority of Conscientious objectors, as the military did (and still does) have more than enough jobs (MOS's-Military Occupational Specialties) for them to maintain their beliefs of not harming their fellow human beings, while still serving their country. Consequently, many conscientious objectors were looked upon as draft evaders.
