Thank you for making that point, Robin. No matter what some guy in a funny
looking hat or with a backward shirt collar may say, it is still not
scripturally acceptable to commit murder ... whether free-lance or as an
organized sport.
My religion is strictly politically neutral as regards the governments of
this world and anti-murder. I can promise you there are no Jehovah's
Witnesses in the armed forces ... of any country. Nor will there ever be.
I, personally, know of several Brothers who wore a prisoners uniform
rather than a soldiers uniform. Three in the US, one each in Armenia and
Greece. And those are just the ones I personally know.
