"Both K. and I, BTW served in the military. I don't think either of us saw it as being anything we are ashamed of, or as a transgression of God's law."
An undeserved compliment. I was never in the military. I did other things, but I certainly share, from my own experience, your sentiments and observations.
Sorry, my mistake. Must be mixing you up with someone else's story... But it's good that you agree with me!
