I am always uncomfortable with UK soldiers conscientiously objecting to service. We have a volunteer armed service, if you object to killing people for a profession, don’t volunteer. I do admit though that, as with any job, there needs to be procedures for somebody to realise they are in the wrong job and move on to something else.
