> The military defines conscientious objection as “a firm, fixed, and sincere objection to participation in war in any form or the bearing of arms, by reason of religious training and/or belief.” The Department of Defense has codified protections for those who object to serving in the military on spiritual or moral grounds. Once a service member submits their conscientious objector packet, commanding officers must take steps to accommodate their beliefs.

#b0704 #ConscientiousObjection

Together with comrades from the International of Conscientious Objectors (IDK), we want to examine the new “Military Service Modernisation Act”:

What should you do if you receive a questionnaire? Who is subject to conscription? And how can we resist it?

We want to discuss these and many other questions in order to find answers in these turbulent times and to strengthen ourselves together as opponents of war:

as young people, parents and everyone else affected by militarism, which is encroaching on all areas of life.

Troops Are Refusing to Serve Because They Don't Trust Israel & Trump

From Gaza to Iran, Rise of Conscientious Objectors Marks U.S. Soldiers’ “Shift in Consciousness”

With thousands more U.S. Marines headed to the Middle East and President Trump reportedly considering a ground invasion of Iran, we speak with Mike Prysner, executive director of the Center on Conscience and War, who says his organization has received a massive increase in inquiries from soldiers seeking to submit conscientious objector applications. Prysner cites a “shift in consciousness” among young people in the United States, spurred by the Gaza genocide. “And the military is made up of young people in the United States.”

"High-profile alleged war crimes, including the strike on the Minab girls’ school, as well as the US attack of the Iranian Naval ship returning from an Indian training exercise, have disturbed many US soldiers, [Mike] Prysner [of the Center on Conscience and War] said. He told Prem his organization has seen a '1,000% increase' in new conscientious-objector clients since the start of the war in Iran."
