@sinbach Hello Brother... I'm curious of your thoughts of serving modern America in that capacity currently? As a former Officer and Naval Submariner, I too am proud he desires to serve... with many children though I question the wisdom to "support and defend against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC", when our CINC I personally do not believe is in that capacity lawfully.
Not attempting to be critical or judgemental, these are simply some real questions I have been mulling over before the Lord... "How then should we now live"... what does it look like for us to live in Babylon?
Though the Lord never criticized Cornelius (Centurion) or the others He came into contact with, He also did not encourage military servitude but encouraged us to live seek peace and pursue it. My whole family serves/served, father is a Colonel, Uncle 2-Star... so I don't question these things lightly as it is my heritage.
Love you and the work God is doing in and through you and your house Brother!
