If you want to establish conscientious objector status and you're in the military, read this journal of one conscientious objector's experiences:

http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6181/applic.htm

Note that serving conscientious objectors can be honorably discharged.

If you're a civilian who wants to establish conscientious objector status should the draft be reinstated; read this article:

http://www.natcath.org/NCR_Online/ar...03/032103i.htm

Note that a conscientious objector can and should still apply for selective service. The key is extensive documentation of beliefs. Conscientious objectors, by definition, oppose ALL war.

Oh yeah, it sounds like this guy was an idiot and accepts his punishment.
