Exactly...if you're a conscientious objector, you go about explaining that BEFORE getting drafted into an army (and if there's no draft, which there isn't, there's no need for anybody to declare themself a CO). Once you're in the army you've agreed that they own you for whatever period of time is specified. If you don't like it, you can desert or mutiny, but don't expect legal sanction.
