So why are there so many "christians" in the military?

I would have thought if they loved their neighbors / enemies there would be just non christians in the military ready willing and able to kill...

Both got what they were convinced of. You should search out the japan tsunarmi thread you will be horrified what christians believe, especially bible believing christian universalists.
the Christians I know think there was an earthquake. Nothing to do with an omni dude's wrath. They also thought it was funny putting generators to low but that the japs did a great job in handling it after the fact.

That the no-lord for those Japanese people.

I believe the final war will be fought against Israel by the rest of the world. By that time, The United States will no longer exist- Islam will have taken over Europe as well as America. I'm not sure about China or Russia,except that they too will be against Israel. At that time God will destroy all of Israels opposition, and Jesus will return to rule for 1000 years.

Since Pentecost, the 'Israel of God' is a spiritual nation ( Christian congregation ) and Not a fleshly nation.
Spiritual Israel has No borders or boundaries and can't be located on any map.- 1st Peter 2:9,5
Jerusalem above is now mother - Galatians 4:26; 6:16; Romans 2:28-29
As Jesus said that old religious 'house of worship' was abandoned by God according to Matthew 23:38

The nations will be standing before God's kingdom government brings Peace on Earth - Daniel 2:44
We are at the time of the statue's toes, or should I say the time of the toenails ! - Daniel 2:42

Christians, or so-called Christians ( Christendom )
Jesus and his 1st-century followers were neutral in the world's affairs.- James 1:1-4
They did Not even get involved in the issues of the day between the Jews verses the Romans.
So, it is Christendom ( so-called Christian but mostly in name only ) who sacrifice their young on the Altar of War as if that is the same as the Altar of God. Genuine ' wheat ' Christians are neutral and do Not go into the military.

I believe the next world war will be bigger than the two previous wars. And I think Christians will play a huge role

Would you care to elaborate on that? How so will Christians play a huge role?

It is sad how much America loves to make war and how huge the military empire is. Imagine if we had never spent all those trillions of dollars making war planes and weapons and bombs and instead had invested them in people, children, healthcare, infrastructure, charity, etc... imagine what a peace dividend would look like in comparison to a war dividend. It makes me sick just thinking about all the wasted lives and money. Only an insane society could do the amount of damage that has been done in my lifetime and think it is great.

Moderator cut: Quoted post deleted as gratuitous political.

I'm particularly referring to all the money we have wasted SINCE World War II.

What is wrong with speaking another language? I wish I could speak every language.

It looks to me like we have become the aggressor at this point and some other big fish is going to think they are doing good by wiping us out. This would not be so had we not tried to dominate the globe after WWII but something very evil happened to the U.S. after Kennedy was assassinated.
