C O as refers to military service ONLY I m aware that the term conscientious objector is a legal term for those seeking exemption from military service on moral grounds however c o more generally means one who raises a conscientious objection right Shouldn t this page either 1 deal with C O in all its myriad forms or 2 alter the scope of the title to Conscientious Objector legal draft status I just got done telling somebody Anmish conscientiously object to Social Security as they feel insurance is thwarting God s will and was told No C O has to do with not getting drafted I mean I might be wrong and I know I was using that word against its more common application but I don t think so
