Maybe if you were lucky. I knew a conscientious objector who tried to take the legal way out. He was handed over to the army by the law court and given the job of painting army huts with a toothbrush. Nor was he allowed to take the paint can up the ladder. He survived the two years but wasn't the full quid when I met him. Such was/is the military mentality! The smart path was to obtain a medical exemption. Does anyone know of any politician's son, Liberal or Labor, who actually did their nacho? -- John H
