War Resisters

War resisters are individuals who choose not to participate in military conflicts for reasons such as moral or ethical beliefs, pacifism, or political convictions. They may refuse to enlist, serve, or support war efforts, often facing legal or social consequences. Their stance emphasizes nonviolence and the belief that war is unjust or harmful. War resistance can take various forms, from conscientious objector claims to active protest, and highlights the importance of personal conscience in decisions about conflict.
