So you see, it does not only revolve around politicians portraying to be Christians, but also the actual soldiers and people in the service are apart of this blood shed, which looking at the values of Jesus, I DO NOT think WAR is WHAT JESUS WOULD DO. What makes you think that government is only responsible for contradicting christian/american ideas ? Government is supposed to be controlled by the people anyway, which goes back to the American populous, which is Christians.
GOD judges the heart. These young soldiers. Alot of them are decieved and do not know any better. Just because they are forced to kill somebody by the military does not mean they are disgusting horrible wicked people. Matter of fact, you should respect them for what they do. WAR is stupid and wrong by all means but it will never stop. These kids are exploited in the military and I think GOD can understand that.
