a war is fought because 1 man believes he should fight for his country. he employs people to go out and kill, and get killed in the process. god gave ten commandments, man made countless.one of god commandment is thou shall not kill.Is man fighting for his country or for what one man believe?

Yea, did you see what Israel is doing to get their 2 kidnapped soldiers back? They went to war to war to find these 2 soldiers. About a month ago 2 US soldiers were kidnapped. The USA military made a half hearted effort to find them. Well, the 2 soldiers came up mutiliated and decapated. Now, my friend, I ask you.. WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO FIGHT FOR THE USA? They don't give 100% support!

Out dated thinking? To quote Wilfred Owen, "The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori." (It is sweet and right to die for your country)
I think you'll find that as many if not more wars have been fought in the name of religion than greed. Or at least under the guise or religion anyway.
Some things are worth dying for some are not, what those things are is a personal decision.

God did say do not kill but if you read the bible how many time do you have to see Jesus was killed for our sins before you realize God new these things would happen cause man isn't perfect

You are totally without honor and undeserving of the sacrifice those men make for ignorant slanderers, like you.
You don't understand the Commandment. You are a typical semi-literate Liberal who is almost dangerous with the little knowledge you have.

NO ONE IS FORCED INTO THE AMERICAN MILITARY. It is a volunteer army. Thus, the war is not fought because ONE man thought it was a good idea. Your argument is elementary.

the military go to war when the government tells them to and don't usually ask why. every person in the military does as they are told, it's not for them, as individuals, to judge whether it's right or wrong.
if you think, as an individual, that the war you are fighting is wrong, you still fight because everyone in your unit, ship, aircraft, relies on you doing your job. their life and yours depends on it.

The commandement is "thou shall not murder". In war when/if you kill somebody, that isn't murder, its killing to defend your lands. You sir don't have honor.
