I'm just saying that often things are multi-layered and not so simple. Getting out is not always an option. And like I said this is not just a Muslim thing to me, I would be saying the same thing if we had to fight Israel. I think it is something to consider.
Having taken the oath, how would I as a devout Apostolic feel about fighting other devout Apostolics in the birthplace and epicenter of Apostolism(is that a word?). When you factor in the opinion that many have that we should not be there or that most of the people that are dying did not attack us, it leaves a lot of room for legitimate concern that should be addressed IMHO.
Of course, I never expect PO to agree with MHO. LOL

LOL!
Well, I am going to have to cut and run so that I can prepare dinner.
But, my husband and I have talked a bit about civil unrest or a civil war that is rising in this country. We've talked about what we thought the army would do if the gov't called for them to fire on American citizens like at Tiananmen Square.
I think that Apostolics, on this very forum, pit themselves against each other on a number of issues, so I don't see the army doing anything any different.
Maybe it will end like on
All Is Quiet on the Western Frontier. We'll be in the trenches, stand to view something of beauty and get shot - dead as a hammer!
Goodness, Ferd has effected my mind today. I better go cook something!
Let me think more on this subject and see if there is some agreement we can come to.
