Good soldiers in Christ are non-violent. I was a Medic in the Vietnam War era as a Christian. My job was to save lives. I had no weapons training. In my training platoon were Mormons, Muslims, Jews, Seventh Day Adventists, Ba'Hais, Born Again Christians, Catholics and others. Some people in my platoon couldn't speak English, they spoke only Spanish, fortunately we had Drill Instructors who were Hispanic. All were drafted. Jesus said for us to love our enemies the most and when asked to carry the pack 5 miles, carry it for 10. We did all that gladly. God told us not to kill and several trainees boycotted the field example of how to kill live animals, for they were vegetarians and Chrisitains.

The Army generally wouldn't allow the Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists and Jewish people to take Friday night to Saturday night off as Sabbath, so we Christians traded with them and the Christians got Sundays "off," but often worked on that day a little as part of the "carry the pack" pledge as there weren't enough Muslims or Jews to take the full load of KP, Fire Watch or Guard Duty.

I once objected to the Leadership (Cadre) about the rare day in which breakfast was eggs, bacon and ham, lunch was ham sandwiches and dinner was pork chops on that basis that was too much pork in a single day among too many religious people who couldn't eat it.

We were not allowed to give them extra vegtables. They had to use free will not to take the meat portion and live with the normal spoon full of veggies like everyone else received. Vegetarins were just plain out of luck and made do with one or two different veggies, salad and bread every day, for lunch and dinner.

Muslims and Orthodox Jewish were allowed to keep their beards.
