Buzz, that is a good question. I would think that if they are really devout and it goes against their beliefs they could get an exemption like some of our people do. And some that are conscientious objectors due to their religious beliefs can go into the military and be assigned non combat type work which doesn't interfere with their beliefs. Many medics are that way or were when I was in the military and they did a great job, but just didn't carry arms or do any fighting. So to me it seems the same should apply to any person regardless of whether they are Muslims or Christians or whatever. Then they serve a very useful purpose by freeing up others that would have to do those jobs.
