    Is someone know exacltly when the civil service was forbidden by the WT?

    R. Franz has said in his book that it was during the 40's ? But when ?

    Chas,

    I was under the impression that civil service was always forbidden, until the relatively recent change regarding alternate government service for those facing the draft.

    I don't think so.

    Russell was not against the military service, and some alternative
    services as serving in medical's troops.

    Bye
