The Quaker PEACE TESTIMONY originated in the mid-17th century in England, rooted in the belief that there is a fundamental contradiction between war and the teachings of Christ. George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, emphasized living "in the virtue of that life and power that took away the occasion of all wars" (1651), highlighting a spiritual conviction that violence is incompatible with divine guidance.
In times of war many Friends have refused to be drafted and/or have performed alernative service. See "ADVICE TO YOUTH FACING REGISTRATION WITH THE SELECTIVE SERVICE" prepared by the Center on Conscience and War HERE. Additional information about the DRAFT and CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION may be found HERE.
