Dang it archy. Have you been hanging round with them bureacrats or something?

That sounds like something a lawyer would write up. Too many ifs and ands and too many fingers stoking up for that wonderful, “You may reapply in 90 days or submit two copies of this report to the Appeals Board for further examination within 10 days.

Yeah I know. But there needs to be both a way to seperate those looking for an excuse too evade or shirk their responsibilities from those with a real disability or limitation that keeps them from fulfilling a duty of citizenship, and from those who are legitimate conscientious objectors. Rather than any sort of governmental bureaucrats, the procedures used by doctors certifying those deserving of handicapped parking stickers and the like would probably be a better mechanism, though one with the potential for abuses from bribery or favouritism....as is any governmental licensure process.

I'm no lawyer, but I was thinking of the wording of Madison's original draft of the Second Amendment:

A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, being the best security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but no person religiously scrupulous shall be compelled to bear arms.
