So my question to you is how does a soldier who is a Christian justify killing when your Bible tells you not to kill? Because soldiers killing soldiers is morally right because a government tells you to kill? LOL We invaded Iraq over a bunch of lies and they were defending their country. There was nothing morally right about those killings. Also, we created a situation which was so much worse than before we invaded.
So would you like to answer the question or are you going to dance around it some more?
My mistake I read it as you were talking about yourself. When you said "as a retired...." I see now you were talking about me.
I live with myself because I believe God knows what is in my heart. I never once pulled the trigger out of anger, spite, or vengeance; although I did hate at times. I don't even hold ill-will toward those that tried to kill me and pray they find peace in their hearts. I felt I was working toward the bigger good and prayed God gave those appointed over me the wisdom to work toward that end. Furthermore, I know there is only one unpardonable sin and killing in combat is not it.
Now, do you care to answer the question I posed in my reply?
