You don't tell me what I know from my experience, it's pure speculation. People join the military because they were forced in a draft, money, a career, and the experience. Once you join you can't quit until your contract is fulfilled, you go to jail if you try. If they are killed while serving they were murdered and sacrificed for the military industrial complex. No one is thinking about the constitution in a foxhole or in their final moments. It's very violent,empty, cold, animalistic, and not what you see on tv.

No one has been drafted since the sixties. People join the military for a variety of reasons. Some people don't want to come out of college 50 to $100,000 in debt and then have at best a 50% chance of finding a job that's relevant to their degree. Then spend the rest of their lives paying off college loans. Some do it for family tradition. Some people just need a job. My son is a Marine. At 21 he already has his CDL and is studying to be a diesel mechanic. And I think it would be a safe assumption to say that not everyone who joins the military is Christian. My son told me he had Muslims in his Squad at basic. Everyone's religions are accommodated accordingly. Or lack thereof

Being in Australia, and I have been following this, I am really not surprised of the outcome, especially of that $122 million dollar postal vote (and to think that amount of money could of been better spent on housing projects). This postal vote that was in Australia literally redefines the meaning flushing money down the toilet.
Last news I aware of is that the same sex bill pass the senate, so it really is now just a matter of time.
At the end of the day, if the many people want this, that is their choice.
One thing I know is that every decision that is made can have consequences. I pray that the people who cannot see what is happening, that they wake up, before it is too late.

2 Timothy 3:1-9 [FONT="]3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.[/FONT][FONT="]6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds,who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.[/FONT]
Well the latest is that the same sex marriage bill has been passed at parliament, and even though it appears it is now legal in Australia, (and some news articles are not quite accurate in their reporting), there is one more step that needs to be done, and the bill needs to be signed by the Governor-General, then it will be officially legal.
I got no doubt in my mind these are the end times we are living in.

There's nothing we can do to keep gay marriage from being legalized. It's important to highlight, however, that the new laws just permit gay marriage -- they don't force anyone to commit sin. Gay marriage sets a bad example for our kids, but God will use us to tell them what is right before His eyes.
That already has happened, do you remember the whole hullabaloo that Houston's lesbian mayor had against Christian pastors' sermons that said that homosexuality is a sin against God. So it already has happened and it is only going to increase in these extreme days, like the song by TobyMac says. But soon more preachers will be forced to perform homosexual marriages or else. Which is sad that Christians are just not being allowed to follow their faith in both the private and the public spheres, instead of just the private which secularization demands but is against h the Great Commission in Matthew.

Thing is now in Australia, what I am wondering, how long will it be before the political correctness totalitarian regime starts hunting down people for refusing to take part in same-sex wedding celebrations?
Another matter that relates to this, will Australia adopt this gender identity and pronouns law like in Canada? Bill C-16 I seem to recall it is called in Canada.
Oh by the way, it is interesting, but the amount of voters who supported the same-sex marriage in Australia was 61.6%
Very interesting that number. Look at the numbers. 616.
