Definition

  • Military Officer and Man of Conscience Private U.S. citizens have felt reasonably free to criticize their government's war policies and to decline to volunteer for service in time of war (except when subject to conscription). Professional soldiers who have taken the oath to protect and defend the Constitution are not so free. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Hitchcock, Ethan Allen]
