“So, Fred, what makes you think you should be a CO?”

Fred was at a loss for words. “I–I don’t know. I am a Mennonite and we don’t go to war.”

“Oh . . . I see on your records you had a speeding ticket about a year ago. . . . You also made quite a protest. Was this because you are nonresistant?”

Will our boys be able to get a CO status? Are we living our faith every day?
