Why did the conscientious objectors refuse to fight?

Conscientious objectors refuse to fight primarily due to deeply held moral, ethical, or religious beliefs that oppose war and violence. Many believe that participating in armed conflict would compromise their principles of peace and non-violence. Additionally, some objectors may feel that their personal convictions or interpretations of justice and humanity do not align with the goals of the military or the reasons for war. Consequently, they seek alternative forms of service that reflect their values.
