re: #245 Obdicut

With plenty of carved-out exceptions for conscientious objectors to serve in another fashion, I’d agree. But even with that system, there’d still be politicized jockeying, rick men getting their sons and daughters into REM units, as we saw with the National Guard and Vietnam.

CO’s don’t get an exemption, as such, to my mind, by being allowed to serve elsewhere - they need to do their two years as well. The other problem is harder but not something that can’t be solved I believe.
