SOILDERS ARE GOATS NOT SHEEP-LIKE ONES
Bible does not support it at all we are of a new covenant with God not of the old as isreal was and people that were in the military, when jesus spoke to them some converted but did not go back into the military. You have one Job as a human Preach the kingdom news not wage war with flesh and blood. who ever live by the sword will die by the sword no buts my freinds.
(Matthew 26:52) Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword
If Jesus thought it was OK to take up arms he would have not condone his disciple for drawing up is sword against his fellow man, our weapon is the bible, use it not to draw blood but show love, if you cant love your enemy then you cant love God.

I agree with some of what you have to say,
but you go too far as to call all soldiers "goats".
I hope you are not in that despicable cult who holds up signs at soldiers funerals, yelling at their families that God hated their son or brother, and that all soldiers go to hell.
What of those who were drafted? We're they not called to submit to authority?
I agree that we as Christians are called away from freshly combat, and unto spiritual combat,
but to damn all of those who have gone to war, is going too far.

People tend to hyper-extend that submit to authority verse. Chinese believers are saying that abortion is okay because the government commands it if you have more than one child. Americans are basically saying anything is okay as long as the government makes you do it, gives you a uniform, or etc.
Folks, you are supposed to obey God first. Even if President Obama personally comes to your house with the Senate and Congress following him and then proceeds to command you to do something--if it is against Scripture, you are to tell him no.
Many in our society have been deceived into thinking that putting on a uniform and getting a commission from an earthly government gives you a reprieve from your heavenly Creator.
So what happens if you are drafted? I suppose the same thing that happens when the early Christians were drafted to sacrifice to idols. You either run for the hills or you get into a pretty deep mess. God isn't calling us to comfort or to an easily life. The road to Jesus is filled with tribulation. Do not deceive yourselves or be deceived, the easy road is seldom the right one.
