Religious Army
Some military bases have adopted prayer as a preamble to the activities of the troops. It seems to me that this practice is carrying the current religious fervor to an extreme. It will be interesting to see the reactions of conscientious soldiers when faced with the need to pull the trigger to save his life and take someone elses. How convincing can the Sixth Commandment be at that point? Will the Army remain a fighting Army or a confused bunch of recruits with their fingers in the trigger and a question mark in their heads?
The private seemed genuinely puzzled:
Sergeant, the insurgents are in their last throes but they are attacking like hell! What do we do?
First, put your head down. That helmet can only stop BB gun pellets. Second, stop shouting or you will pinpoint our position to those insurgents in their last throes!
Should I shoot back at them, Sergeant? I see a couple moving around near that palm tree. They make great targets
Are you nuts or something? Do you realize that by shooting at them, you might hit them and perhaps cause great injury that could develop into a quick death?
Yes I do, Sergeant. But if I dont shoot them, theyll shoot us and then we are the ones who develop a quick death
The sergeant, who looked like Nicholas Cage without the nervous ticks, was confused. To kill or not to kill, that was the question. But killing a human being was denying his own righteousness and connection to God. On the other hand if he did not defend himself he might be in his last throes himself!
Get me the field telephone, Pronto! he yelled at the private.
As the enemy took up positions closer to where the Sergeant and the private were located, the private brought the field telephone to the Sergeant.
Colonel Murphy, this is the Sergeant. I am pinned down and the only way to get out of here is to shoot the insurgents around us. But I have some reservations about shooting the bastards. You have been telling us that the road to eternal perdition awaits those who do not observe the Divine Commandments and the Sixth says clearly not to take anyones life!
You idiot! Read the fine print and shoot!
