My third son wants to join the RAF.
Dilemma:
Perfect career for his personality, versus ethics of potentially having to kill people who may sincerely think they are defending themselves against the evil British.
Personally, I do believe it is OK for Christians to serve in the armed forces - as per the 39 articles - imagine what would have happened if we had not won the second world war! But I would be a useless soldier, trying to aginise my way through moral dilemmas in the heat of battle.
