Never invaded. Deterrence works.

Agreed. So now do the rest of the civilian population. You have a gripe with them too or just the Amish?

What about the Orthodox Jews or Native Americans?

Yeah orthodox jews are a worry, natives do occasionally serve afaik. The rest of the population do their part afaik but then again I'm not in military circles.

6% of the population has served. That leaves 94% of the population that lives their lives through the protection of others.

That doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone else. Not sure why that would be a bone to pick with the Amish.

True that, but the 94% are not religiously opposed. They found other careers. If need be, the 94% can be conscripted in no time.

So it's not the lack of service, its their religion that bothers you?

It's interesting that conscientious objection is a problem but not cowardice or those that look down on military service.

Just those that have a religious conviction opposed to taking life.
