Should we start registering kids as conscientious objectors right now?

[MrSlayer]

I have a couple of nephews who are nearing draft age as well as kids of my own who will be there inside of 10 years. I don't want any of them to have to take mandatory suicide. Is this a reasonable idea and how does one go about it?

I was a conscientious objector to the draft during the Vietnam War. Cheers.

8. I wasn't. I was too stupid.

I was in the first lottery draft and went to Vietnam. How stupid I was to have faith in my government, that when your contry calls on you, you serve. What a pathetic situation we find ourselves in.

6. According to a draft resister counselor I heard on Mike Webb show

The young person needs to start a paper trail as soon as possible to prove C.O. status. Write essays -- I believe that the website give concrete advice.
