Does anyone have info on how difficult it will be to get CO status (Draft)

[truizm]

I saw a post on here a few weeks ago, but can't find it. I've got a few hardcore Bush supporters thinking -- but they say...well I'll just get CO status, so who cares.

P.S. Get involved with pacifist, anti-war groups to establish a history of your beliefs. Hang with the Quakers, petition for peace, stand vigil against war in your community, write letters to the editor, speak out. In other words, be a citizen.

3. I googled it and found the following

It looks like if it is a possibility it is going to be nearly impossible for the average person to claim it. You need to have a history that proves you are an objector to all wars. Anyway, don't know if it is what you want but it has some info.

4. That's quite a stretch

A Bush supporter being a CO?? I thought conservatives wanted to die for our country and for their party. OH, excuse me, they want me and you to die.

http://www.objector.org/

7. No pardons if you run to Canada, this time around, either

New border rules will be in place, also, to turn anyone back who they think might be relocating to avoid the draft.

8. just resist!!!

Refuse to go. Make them haul you off to jail instead. When the govt starts sending tens of thousands of young men to jail, THAT will be a story.

9. Not qualifying for the draft-

Under current regulations sleepwalking and bed-wetting automatically disqualifies one for military service.

What about declaring oneself homosexual?
