It warns that selective conscientious objection could complicate military operations and make it hard to deploy troops to crises like Lebanon or Katanga, leaving interim solutions unlikely. It notes pressures from libertarian and left groups and the National Council of Churches backing selective service, while stressing risks in applying the concept to real world commands.
