> 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.
