Re: Do Soldiers Commit A Sin By Killing In War?
"War is a place where young people who don't know each other and don't hate each other kill each other, by the decision of old people who know each other and hate each other, but don't kill each other."
It isn't a sin to kill in war when you're defending your country and it's people. Coning out from war without a single kill gives a clear conscience. Postwar there are many heavy hearts if the soldiers get PTSD.

I agree with this sentiment. There is the case of self-defense in this case. However, soldiers would not be put in this situation--whether to be the aggressor or to take the stance of self-defense--if they were not involved in war in the first place. Conflict resolution would be ideal to all forms of war, I think. What's tough is trying to get people to see eye to eye who are willing to be humbled (on both sides of the conflict) without involving weapons of death and destruction.
