[Further studies of prospective conscientious objectors in the years 1974-1976].
This present study is concerned with the prospective objectants to military service in the years 74 to 76. Objectants are men liable for service who, at the enlistment, declare to object any form of serving in the military service. 40% of the 178 objectants were unfit for serving for psychiatric reasons. The main causes being neurotic disturbances and infantilism. 91 objectants belong to the church of Jehovah's witnesses. In objectants, indeed, the objecting itself is a symptom of the psychic disorder. Since 1971, the number of prospective objectants did not rise with statistic significance, the contrary being true for the real objectants (i.e. who do not serve in the military service). The portion of prospective objectants in all men enlisting to military service was never greater than 1.5%.
