Sergeant York (Score:2)

by djberg96 (2603)

Reading your journal entry reminded me of a story I heard initially from Paul Harvey (the radio host). Initially, Sergeant York applied for conscientious objector status in some part because of the 6th Commandment, "thou shall not kill".
It was later explained to him that the particular Hebrew verb used in the Old Testament actually means "to murder", not "to kill".
There's a link here [ptm.org] about it for those interested.

  This is an awesome link! Thanks for this - after reading a first few pages, it seems to be a recap of our discussion (plus two other doctrines of war {Preventative War & Nonresistance}).
