TB, I totally agree with everything you said. The only problem I have is that if his son was a PFC, that means this guy has only been in for at least 2 years, or a little more depending on how long he's been a PFC. Now, as we have seen before, reservists have been called up to help in situations like this. He did say his son didn't join to go to war, but didn't flinch when he was called, so I got to give it to him there......IF that was true, but since the guy is dead, we won't ever know if he called mommy and daddy whining about having to get into this, but for ANYONE to say they didn't join the military to go war..no matter if you are active, reserve,or nat. guard..... is stupid. You join ANY branch of them military you should expect that.
I as well do not agree with the title to this thread, but it's already locked this way. The Reverand is not being hateful, he just wants whoever is responisble to be held accountable. Simple.
When you get into the Christian arguement, then yes, Christians are supposed to forgive, but we are only human. As someone already stated, you don't know how you'll act if it happens to someone close to you....Christian or not, you WILL want the responsible party held accountable. ANYONE would. I notice that the ones who say things like "Aren't you Christians supposed to forgive" are either non-Christians, or aren't too strong in their religion. They want to use the Bible against Christians when they fell like it. Like those who know you are Christian, then try to do things to make the Christian do something "against" what the Bible says we are supposed to.......which is just wrong because even though God says that all fall short of the Glory of God, meaning nobody is perfect, so long as we ask forgiveness and MEAN it, we are forgiven, no matter what we do.
Now, this is what I was taught to believe. If you were taught different, so be it. I am not going to argue about religion. Everyone has their owns beliefs, and I will not tell anyone their religion is wrong.
