I'd say he's against war too, except he said he comes not to bring peace, but a sword, and plans to come back and kill most of Humanity in the rapture.

The peaceful hippy Jesus was why the Jews don't accept him as being the savior.  Prophecy spoke of Jesus as being a warrior who would save them.  

Jesus on the white horse after Tribulation, the sword is is just metaphorical.  He doesn't actually do anything with it.

Sad state of affairs

Indeed. There's a great deal of "talk" about how Republicans support the troops, but they don't actually do anything to actively support them whatsoever. Most "talk" from Republicans is just that: talk without action.

"These are not the troops you're looking for."

Never expected anything from the brass. And got it.

Enlisted personnel generally come from the poorer part of the populace. I know that fits my case. It ended up with me being able to get a university degree after I departed the Navy, first degreed ever, even among my cousins. Wealthier people can afford to have their spawn get a degree before entering the service, or keep them out altogether. The well connected can get a congress critter's recommendation for matriculation through a service academy, thereby having their spawn educated with taxpaer's dollars, with the added benefit of being an academy grad. Lots of politics in that!

ETA my real point. Poorer people expect less, because they have started with less. They're considered cannon fodder, and the shit that happens to them is of little concern for the big shots.

Some people are more concerned about the welfare of illegal aliens than they are about citizen veterans.

Some people spit out bullshit assumptions about others to cover up for their own shortcomings. You can care about one group of humans while caring about another at the same time, dude.
