Yes, but my KJV says "Thou shalt not kill", and a few years ago my daughter asked me whether that was absolute, or whether there were justifiable exceptions.
It's a legitimate question.

It seems to me that the Chaplain should be explaining that the troops are players is a war between good and evil and that their sacrifices of time, energy and lives should be in that context.
The men and women involved in this war are actually agents of peace, for if they are successful in their endeavors a peaceful mideast will result.
Many say there will never be peace in that part of the world but they are wrong. With our peacemakers in uniform it is not just possible, but probable. Just don’t let our diplomats blow it!!!
