I have heard very differing opinions from various people.
My question is: Is it morally acceptable for Christians to join (or stay in) the armed forces?
Some people say yes because John the Baptist never told the soldiers to quit their job and there are some cases of early Christians who were employed by the Roman military.
Others say no because the early church as a whole tended to be against Christians joining the military.
What are your thoughts? For a little background, I am an Air Force avionics technician.
