We like Sheep

[Cap Huff]

Wretchard over at Belmont had an interesting commentary, the concluding sentences here:

“The question Tom Fox should have posed is ‘how do you stand firm against a car-bomber headed straight for a schoolbus?’ And if you say, ‘shoot to save the children’ ask yourself if it ever [is] justified to be glad that God had sent someone else to shoot the bomber and go hell in your stead. Tom Fox stood for his beliefs to the bitter end. And now the men who killed him are out there, waiting to kill again.”

Worth the read.

As a committed Christian I have discussed this issue with others of a pacifist bent. For me the clincher is Luke 3:14. The soldier is to be content with his wages.

I'll just say if he went to spread the Gospels, he was following a commission set out for him. Perhaps one can look at it like an Marine attempting to accomplish his MO, perhaps now His Lord has told him, mission acccomplished, well done my faithfull servant.

Nicely done!
