Mormons are not conscientious objectors and there are plenty serving in Iraq. In fact, the Army has Mormon chaplains.

Sure they serve! They join for the same reasons "non-Mormons" join. My neighbors are Mormon, and husband just deployed and he is a cav scout...not exactly an MOS to choose if you are a pacifist, huh? They firmly believe in defending our country, and if you look at Mormon history, they have never backed down from fighting for their beliefs.

Anybody and everybody that feels to fight for their freedom and the future of freedom for their children, childrens, childrens, childrens. Will not back down from the challenge. Religion has nothing to do with FREEDOM.
