The Execution of Eddie Slovik  

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "What did the US military have to gain from his execution?"

Enforcing the law.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "The OT law allowed soldiers to "desert" if they were afraid to..."

"...and that was in divinely ordained holy wars."

So-called holy wars are not permitted.

"We've gone from General Patton to patent leather." ~ Michael Savage Gen. 13:13, 1 Co 6:9, 2 Pe 2:6

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "He wanted to discontinue the job he was forced into..."

The military has a Uniform Code of Justice. That's a good thing.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Where are you getting that from the Bible? Does the Bible support forcing people to slave for the military?"

An Army Ranger friend tells me desertion laws need to remain in effect if nothing else--to deter others from thinking of doing the same.

What other laws in the Uniform Code of Military Justice are inappropriate to your mind?

You prefer Sodomites defend our nation? Gen. 13:13, 1 Co 6:9, 2 Pe 2:6

What do words like honor and loyalty mean to you? Mt 8:9, Ac 10:7

"If right is morally right, it would be Slovik's supporters who are "right" here, not his enemies."

My Army Ranger friend believes this man should have been charged with desersion. Obama releases Talaban terrorists for his return. Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10.

We are permitted to die to self. 

"Jn 18:36. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world—He does not say “not over,” but “not of this world”—that is, in its origin and nature; therefore “no such kingdom as need give thee or thy master the least alarm.”

if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews—“A very convincing argument; for if His servants did not fight to prevent their King from being delivered up to His enemies, much less would they use force for the establishment of His kingdom” [WEBSTER and WILKINSON]."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Your such a tard."
