If you are looking at this as a question directed only to Christians, then this conversation is pure rhetoric and wastes time. Reality is where we live and the fight we have on our hands is serious. I refuse to play "what if" with my teenagers for the same reasons. Also, we cannot afford to NOT have a significant standing army as war in the modern age can be brought to you in virtual moments. There could be no time to call up reserves and/or train and/or manufacture the necessary resources for an engagement. This article presents itself in a very paternalistic fashion telling us how to behave. I do not agree.
