In reply to Mark E Miller.

I disagree with you, Mr. Miller. Following the laws of our land is right unless asked to deny God/Jesus or to sin. He was defending our country, even if indirectly and obeying government authority. I imagine you would have a problem with, "peace through strength" even though the opposite would mean invasion with an horrendous cost of lives. It isn't always ok to sit back idly while innocent people are killed also. Sometimes paying an immediate price saves countless lives in the future.
