You will not know until it happens.
It's like watching a couple going through divorce. At the outset, they're all brave and happy. But things usually go downhill after the fact as each has to deal with the pain in their own way.
Back on topic... I do not have an answer for the original poster but I do have something to add to your mixing pot of questions:
Matthew 26:50-54 and each of the accounts given in the other Gospels (they all differ in some way). I've read somewhere that though it was necessary for Christ to be arrested, the verses suggest that he did not condone the violence. As I am not in the armed forces, this is not something I need to deal with but perhaps it's something for you to meditate upon and to dig further.
