Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, but I want some opinions from everyone (even non-Americans) about if a man should even join the military these days. I read through a bunch of threads on the military here, before I registered, and some of you even made it sound good… but they’re all from 2004-10. Only a few are from after that, and the latest ones are asking about chaplaincy and things like that.
A war with China seems inevitable these days, as well as another insurgent slog in Africa, so l was thinking about joining the military in some aircrew/pilot or medical capacity to hopefully save lives if it happens during my service. My conscience, however, condemns joining the military, saying that this is the destruction of Jerusalem and I ought to flea, or let it happen. (not to say I BELIEVE America to be the new Jerusalem, but that America is ultimately a former Christian nation that has sinned against grace and will get the reward of that)
What do you guys think? Is it even good to join a police force or EMS or homeland security, since you’d be in the service of a sinful city that’s getting what it deserves? This assumes the logic stated is correct, of course.
