Conscientious Objection : |
| The United States Selective Service System defines a conscientious objector as "one who is opposed to serving in the armed forces and/or bearing arms on the grounds of moral or religious principles."
Some people have also taken the idea a step further and object not only to the idea of serving in the military, but also refuse to support it by paying taxes that fund wars and the military. |
