Question

Conscientious objectors were often assigned to which of these capacities during World War I?

fighter pilots

non-combat troops

merchant marine sailors

workers in war industries

Answer 1

Non-combat troops, like those that worked in medical field tents or in administration (tending to the wounded, carrying supplies, etc..).

The reasons for not fighting were many, whether it was a person's religious background or their personal moral compass, but they could still serve in other ways that didn't directly put them on the front lines.
