Read this article, linked below, just recently. I must admit that I am not a pacifist. While I do believe that war always involves sin, I believe that there are times (in this completely broken world) that war is the only acceptable choice in a series of unacceptable options.
I served in the US military for a few years and am proud that… well, that I got out when it was time. I feel no shame in serving my country in that manner, but think I am now serving in ways that are of greater value.
I do tend to think that many American Christians are fascinated with war in an unhealthy way. I personally, don’t think the solution is pacifism necessarily, but the “peace that passes understanding” should, I think lead us to be peacemakers. Anyway, consider reading the article below and you might want to look over that website for more thoughts.
