A quick definition of conscientious objector:

A conscientious objector is someone who refuses to join the military or carry weapons because of their beliefs. These beliefs can be religious, moral, or ethical. In the past, only people from certain religions were allowed to be conscientious objectors, but now anyone can claim this status as long as their reasons are sincere and not based on politics or self-interest. If someone is granted conscientious objector status, they may have to do alternative service instead of military service.

A more thorough explanation:

A conscientious objector is a person who refuses to serve in the military or bear arms due to moral, ethical, or religious beliefs. In the United States, conscientious objections were raised in response to military conscription (the “draft”).

For example, during the Vietnam War, many people refused to serve in the military because they believed the war was unjust and went against their personal beliefs. These individuals could claim conscientious objector status and be exempt from military service.

Traditionally, conscientious objections in the United States were only accepted from devout members of pacifist religions. However, today, the Selective Service System (SSS) has widened conscientious objection claims to include non-religious beliefs.

For instance, a person who opposes war on moral or ethical grounds can claim conscientious objector status. They must register with the SSS and testify as to the sincerity of their beliefs. If their claim is successful, they may be required to serve in a civilian position that contributes to the national health, safety, or interest of the United States.

Overall, conscientious objectors are individuals who prioritize their personal beliefs over military service and are willing to face consequences such as imprisonment for their convictions.
