Youngest, you are not seriously espousing pacifism are you? Do you seriously think that war is immoral and wrong? Do you not know that God will not only ask you about what you did, but also about what you did not do? If I leave my family, my country to die, and be killed, I myself, with the duty of saving their lives because of love from the aggressor, should certainly kill the treacherous oppressors who are killing those in this country. At the judgment seat of Christ, not only will I be asked whether I clothed the naked, tended the sick, gave to the poor, helped my brethren, visited the imprisoned, but I will be held responsible for those I did not fight for, for the loved ones who were being sinfully destroyed. If a child is being severely abused by another man before my eyes, what kind of man would I be if I did not use force to stop the abuse of this innocent child? What if this was happening to a country of your people (or another country of people being aggressively massacred), would it not be my duty to stop it? Of course. This is no question about starting aggression to people. Of course not. Those who espouse pacifist views, clearly do not see the implications of their destructive ideologies.
Had not the righteous countries in World War II, the earth would have been plundered asunder by the savage Adolf Hitler. Surely had Great Britain, France, Canada, and the United States and the other countries, not come to rescue those countries that were being aggressively and without cause invaded they would have also been held accountable for the blood of thousands. But they did the right thing, they liberated the Netherlands, and most of Europe from the hands of the racio-supremacist Nazi. Had World War II not been fought and the world remained silent, Adolf Hitler and his savage Nazi socialist regime would have gained power of most of this planet, as was their view, and utterly destroyed those races, who being created equal and as One in the eyes of God, who he considered "undesirable". Could you stand to remain silent? Do you still object to war and capital punishment? And if so, on what grounds? If there be not a reversal of power, war saves lives, rather than destroys them. And the same can be said of Capital punishment.
Some say that war divides, not at all, it unites. It unites people against evil, it unites families, it unites people under one nation, it unites countries with countries. Many of the countries that joined together in World War II were enemies, but joined hand in hand in one common goal of saving those who are innocent. This has nothing to do with hating the Germans. War is not about hatred. Anyone who tells you that is gravely mistaken. War is about love, because its end-goal is not violence, its to defend and establish peace. I hope you change your mind about war and the death penalty.
God Bless
