i can see their point of view, that they are against war, it is part of their religion and so on, and that they are exempt from military service, but at the same time, you can't pick and choose where your tax dollars go...while it may sound like a good idea, it would be almost impossible to do for everyone and there almost certainly would be little acountablility to see that it went where it was supposed to...
