There's no such thing as a Christian soldier. Jesus was a pacifist who taught that all men are brothers and should love each other. If you have a spirit of violence within you, if you hate anyone, or desire to kill anyone, you have not the spirit of Christ within you. When you feel love, empathy, sympathy, compassion and understanding, that is Christ working in you, by whatever name you choose to call it. If you have love for your enemies, you are a Christian. If not, you are not. Period.
@electrogeek77 I"m not sure what "us" your talking about but I think if people want to believe in nonsense thats fine but our government should not promote it. I served for twenty years in the Navy so I've seen their nonsense first hand.
What year was this recorded?

Military chaplins are a violation of the seperation of church and state.
