Does anyone know if other christian denominations recommend a form of alternative military service as a preferred appraoch to issue of war/military service? I thought I remember reading that Adventists and others do this. Anyone know for sure?

Among SDAs alternative military service would be a minority position.
SDAs have different positions depending on their concience it includes alternative military service, non combat roles in the military and full combat roles in the military.
The church gives support to all positions and they have their chaplins in the forces. The head of chaplins in the US navy is an SDA, cant think of his name right but I could look it up.
