As I read this story and it’s associated replies, it does my heart good to see that there are indeed honourable men still willing to take a stand; to sound off on right and wrong. There isn’t/shouldn’t be a question of so-called religious conviction with this young and dubious cpl., misguided, yes; not a religous conviction.
I thank GOD that the young men and women now serving, have the intestinal fortitude to do that which so many are not willing to do. Lets remember one thing, that we that live, work and die here in this land are all Americans, black, white, red, brown yellow; from the north or south, east or west. For to long have we been divided by the left. However, having said all that, this young marine does have the right to disobey even a lawful order. Now he must pay the price of his crime to man, but GOD moreover.
Now, if I may remind the cpl. Romans 13:1-5.
The taking of life, shedding of blood, is not easy. As a young marine some 30 years back, I remember taking an oath as does all the marines that have replied to this story. That oath still has the same flavor today as it did then.
