Conscientious objectors were rejected from there society, treated and seen as criminals. In the eyes of their country they failed to contribute and make a difference and were seen to be traitors given white feathers by women, this was to make them feel like cowards. They were ridiculed by the deluging Propaganda's and some were accepted but still there beliefs were not respected.

∙ 13y agoSo far, the only conscientious objector during WW1 that I am sure of, is Dan West, founder of Heifer International. But because of him, I now know that there was actually such a thing as a conscientious objector during WW1. I did not know this before I read his biography, Passing On the Gift.

What did conscientious objectives mean in World War 1?
Do you mean "conscientious objector"? A conscientious objector (or "CO") is a person whose conscience (his sense of right and wrong) does not allow him to fight for ANY reason. It is sometimes difficult to determine if a person who refuses to go into the Army is really morally opposed to war or conflict in any form, or if he simply does not want to fight in THIS war, for THESE reasons. Or if he is genuinely a coward. Many COs were assigned to medical units; they would not be in combat themselves, but would serve as medics and orderlies assisting the doctors treating the wounded.

What was a 1-y draft classification in the Vietnam war era?
Wasn't a "1-y"...there was a "1-W" which meant a "conscientious objector performing an alternate function in lieu of military service" (like maybe the "Peace Corps"). A "1-A-O" was a conscientious objector who could be inducted (drafted) but could only serve in non-combat roles (medics & chaplin service as two examples). There certainly was a 1Y classification during the Vietnam War. I was classified as 1Y in October 1968 as a result of high blood pressure during my induction physical. 1Y meant "qualified for service in the event of war or national emergency". As that war was never "declared" as such, it was a permanent deferment.
