I voted no, because the answer is no. Not sure what else to say about that, really. Trump proves how little he cares about Christian values by doing things like this stunt he recently orchestrated with Turkey's invasion of Syria,
which killed Christians in Qamishli, a historic Syriac Christian stronghold in the country (actually founded by Syriac Christians fleeing the Turkish genocides of the early 20th century; I guess Turkey is just trying to finish now what they couldn't completely finish then).
But it really is rather laughable and disgusting that this thread is being partially turned into a strange neo-hippie love fest about how evil the military apparently is (when it's
supposed to be about how evil
Trump is
). Someone needs to tell the poster in question that for as many quotes as they can apparently dig up on Christian pacifism from Wikipedia or whatever, the same can be done with regard to the long tradition of
Christian military saints (dating back to at least the 2nd century, with the likes of
St. Eustathios). It would be pretty terrible to dismiss the likes of St. Philopateer Mercurius or St. Theodore El Shatby because look at what this other Christian saint said about serving in the military. The proper way to do things is not to take anyone in isolation as though their antiquity or ecclesiastical rank ought to prove a point to which everyone is bound forever after them (if that were the case, then surely the existence of married Popes in Alexandria -- the original 'papal church' -- such a HH St. Demetrius ought to be enough to end the tradition of clerical celibacy in the West that developed later via things like the Council of Elvira c. 306), but to see how things actually developed in the Church in question. In Hippolytus' case, even though he was an 'anti-Pope', that would still be the Roman Church, which has plenty of military saints.
As usual, things are not so black and white.
