Thanks for posting this, got my history exam tomorrow so doing some last minute revision. Really helpful stuff! Another interesting thing to point out is that military tribunals who were meant to hear out COs in WW1 mostly consisted of ex-military officers, which meant they were very biased and often didn't give COs a fair hearing. Apparently one 18 year old CO was told that he was "too young to have a conscience" and sentenced to 3 years in prison. Interesting how the past works.
N Warrier, yes, this video hasn't gotten the views that I expected. But people watch what they want to watch and it's sometimes hard to anticipate what they'd like to see. Thanks for your nice comment. You get a heart!
Canada here, what would a army of Canadians look like today
Howard, that's a good question! I'm glad that you viewed this video, as it is underwatched, imo!
Several random thoughts: 1) You have no doubt read about the case of medic Desmond Doss; 2) There is book whose title escapes me about CO's participation in a lengthy experiment in the effects of starvation on the human body; and, 3) In the event a CO was not granted a waiver, he could always aim at the enemy's non-vital parts since carrying off the wounded tied up more soldiers than killing him outright.
Tebel Shaw, yes, for people like Desmond, or like the Amish, they simply don't believe in war or killing. I'm not that type of person, but I do understand where they're coming from. Someone might say to them: "Well, what if the Nazis/Commies/ take over the country? Then they would probably shrug their shoulders and go back to farming (nothing wrong with farming). My point is that an Amish would probably worry about killing or hurting someone else, not whether it would be lethal or not.
Many showed their patriotism by helping like the video showed. Thank you for your comment and watching!
Desmond Doss is about the most noble man I’ve ever learned of.
As a Seveth-Day Adventist (and a former healthcare worker) myself, his faith and strength is something I strive for.
