“I kinda think they should have stuck to their guns, so to speak. Mennonites don’t have anything to apologize for.”
I have mixed feelings on this but I tend to agree with you. Being born and raised in that part of the country I’ve seen the contribution these people have made through their selfless devotion to peaceful betterment of their communities and Americans as a whole.
God before country is understandable and accepatble when that God does not promote the mass extinction of non-believers (you know who I mean).

God before country is an interenting concept......but without the Revolutionary WAR, the WAR of 1812ivil WAR, the micellaneous wars, The First World WAR, the Second world
WAR, Korea, Vietnam, Irag, Afghanisan, etc etc etc....they would not even have their Pacifist college in Goshen to begin with. I do not understand pacifism at all....I do not agree that you must be a pacifist to love God..throughout history, God has even participated in wars (remember Moses having his arms held up while the battle went on) we live in the world, and it is not necessarily a nice place.....if we don’t defend our freedoms, including the freedom of religion, we will lose them......try having Goshen College in such places as Saudi Arabia, or Iran, or Jordan, or any other country in the world that does not respect (and defend) freedom of religion.......sometimes the people who want to take advantage of all the freedoms that we have, do not realize that freedom is not free
