Only the opposing soldier's.
-
I don't how it could be breaking gods law since god sent forth armies of christians to kill members of opposing religions. I guess if you are the opposing team, it's okay to kill.
-
the leadership which has caused the war is to blame. a soldiers duty is to fight in the name of his leadership and the guilt flows up the chain to the originator of the order
-
You'd first have to understand Just War. If the war satisfies the requirements for a just war, then no.
-
No. Fighting and killing in war is not murder. Same if you accidentally hit someone with your car and they die.
-
According to the Biblical God, he would ask for "his people" to kill enemies many times...if you're fighting to protect people I suppose it's alright
-
Which god? Certainly not Ares (Roman: Mars), the god of war.
-
In international law is considered legal to kill your enemy in combat,but morally it is still murder if you are referring to the commandment "You Shall Not Murder" So I suppose that in a religious sense you are breaking Gods law! This is a very good question.
-
Nope.
-
Nope. Its called saving his own ass.
-
depends if your cause is morally correct i would say.
