Talk:Conscientious objector (view source)
Revision as of 23:10, April 6, 2007
, 23:10, April 6, 2007sounds right
::*Someone who sides against his own country in a war is decidedly NOT a conscientious objector. Terms to describe such a person include war resister or anti-war activist, but these terms are misleading, as they blur the distinction between (1) moral or religous objection to all wars and (2) refusal to fight on a particular side in a particular war. (see selective conscientious objection).

::: That does sound correct. There is a significant difference between the 'American taliban' and a person who opposes fighting. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 19:10, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
