Start a petition to change the oath of citizenship so that newly minted citizens do not have to affirm that they will defend and protect the Constitution.
One can do that without killing.
I for one would refuse to kill on behalf of government.
You were born here, which means that as a citizen you are subject to a draft. When someone becomes a citizen they have to take an oath of citizenship one of the provisions is that you would take up arms in service to the government.
If we did not have such an oath, we would have millions of "citizens" who have no interest in defending the Constitution. But, there is an exception for religious teachings.
Exactly. The law is the law, and even the exemption for "religious teachings" is going too far, in my view. I think it dates back to the revolutionary war with certain religious minorities that were either a) legitimately "anti-war" by virtue of a deluded religious worldview, or b) unpatriotic scum who used their minority religious status as an excuse to avoid the burden of service by preying on the ignorance and generosity of the rest of the Americans.
