I served 16 years in the US Army, Special Forces. I have served 3 tours in Iraq and Afganistan from the onset of the war to present. The deaths, atrosities, mayhem, and destruction I have personally caused by my hand I fear will haunt me forever. There is no excuse for my actions. Oh yes, some would say, you only did what you were ordered to do but, spiritually I know that murder/killing is a sin. I'm at a quandary about ever receiving forgiveness. During the killing I was caught up in the moment and took great pleasure in what I was doing, almost boastful. For these feelings/actions I regret to this day. I have asked God for His forgiveness, but I believe I'm doomed spiritually. Maybe someone could offer some glimmer of hope by sending a scripture from the Holy Bible that would help with my salvation. If not, I understand no one likes a baby killer anyway, right?
