It is not relevant to the issue of the guilt of the accused for disobedience of orders.

Roisum made claim to a minister's exemption but at the same time submitted an affidavit signed by his father saying that petitioner was necessary to the operation of his father's farm. In June 1942 Roisum filed a conscientious objector's form claiming exemption from both combatant and non-combatant military service ”
