How can an objection be fraudulent?
If someone doesn't want to go then they don't want to go. Whatever the reason.
It's stupid how they gave special exemption for some churches too.
If you belong to some bogus organization that claims to speak God's word you're exempt.
If you personally reason that you don't want to go to war because of the odds of survival then you aren't.
For me both are legit reasons.
