What was the difference between the Conscientious Objectors in World War 1 and World War 2?
Most objectors in the 1st world war were against fighting as they saw it as pointless slaughter, whilst objectors in WW2 were probably the same as well. In WW2 for example 'Conchies' were against the fighting, but that did not preclude them from war work. In fact many of these principled, brave men were involved in bomb disposal ! I had thought that bombs that didn't explode did not do so by accident: Not at all, they are designed not to do so to tie up resources of the enemy, indeed this still goes on to this day. I think there were more objectors in WW2, mainly because, I suppose, of greater media awareness. I don't know what differences there might be between these people, surely if you are a pacifist then that's all there is to it. Personally I am not a pacifist, but I do understand their point of view. I too wish war was avoidable, but....

What are the reasons for Conscientious Objection?
Conscientious objectors were people who simply did not want to fight in World War One. Conscientious objectors became known as 'conscies' or C.O's and they were a sign that not everybody was as enthusiastic about the war as the government would have liked. Battles such as Ypres and the Somme had cost Britain a vast number of casualties. By 1916, volunteers to join the British Army were starting to dry up. In response to this, the government introduced conscription in 1916 - where the law stated that you had to serve your country in the military for a certain period of time. A 'conscience clause' was added whereby those who had a "conscientious objection to bearing arms" were freed from military service. (To suki luv Dani)
