Do you have 55 points to spare which you could sell me?

I looked into applying for CO status.
I wasn't eligible.
It required beliefs I didn't hold.

Such as?

Once again, your lack of experience leads you to simplistic,
& erroneous claims about how the military draft functioned.

Assertion.

Slaves just didn't like the penalties for escaping.

Nope as the penalty does not result in the person not being a slave after unlike those for draft dodging.

There's the thing about slavery....
It's the threats behind refusing to go along which keep them enslaved.

Threats do not make something slavery.

Without the threats, slaves would just walk away.
So you just bolstered my argument by admitting to penalties.

Nope as after the penalty they are still slaves while draft dodgers are citizens not soldiers after. Try again.

One needed a religion based opposition to all war, not particular ones.
So I was doubly disadvantaged.
But even so, such a status still came with an obligation to serve
government in some capacity, which is a loss of liberty relative
to those who were exempt, eg, women, gays, trans, clergy.

Your other points have already been addressed.

PCUSA could be opposition to war or whatever. we change definitions. Horace underwood fights classism and sexism. The Presbyteries first formed along the coast with Ronald McDonald. So, you're a new member? You should know all about being a Presbyterian. As soon as we integrate al our missins into the one happy handholding. We like gay Indians.

This will be like kicking a beehive and I understand. I'm just feeling like only those who have felt the cost of having our Country understand it.

Perhaps there is a broader classification? America is in a mess because of a Draft Dodger.

2016 was draft dodger vs draft dodger (bone spurs vs gender exemption).
2020 will be draft dodger vs draft dodger (bone spurs vs asthma).
So....how important is it that a President have been drafted into a war?

Of Z-E-R-O importance...

I avoided the military myself.
