You are correct, as a group LDS do not join the military at the same rate as other “faiths”. They do join, just not at the same rate.

Yes. J. Reuben Clark was a high-ranking Mormon during WWII time...and he was quite an outspoken pacifist who obviously influenced many Mormons of his generation, who in turn passed it down.

I'm not sure how Mormons faired in serving in WWI -- but certainly they were represented.

There you go again - bashing us MORMONS!

 

You KNOW that there are over 60,000 of us serving in the LORD's army!

 

Uh.... make that 53,000.

 

Ooops!  Make that 52,000.
