Warrior Ethics

Here is a good article from MSNBC (I don’t usually like the stuff they produce) on warrior ethics. It was worth the time spent reading it. I would also mention a post I made some time ago on Calvin and Aquinas on war (most of the post was quoting Calvin, with a pointer to a paper in “First Things” on the subject of good wars). This is an even better read, very scholarly and studied. It may sound jingoistic to some people (who haven’t a foundation, or “world view” from which to launch the balance of their thinking), but there are good reasons for waging war and defending yourself and others. The fathers of the church even call this a “ministry” to others.
Hmmm. What would the folks over at Daily Kos think of war as a “ministry?”
