Many great men of conscience, pastors, preachers, and laymen, struggled with these seemingly mutually exclusive premises, not just during the War for Independence, but the War Between the States, and both World Wars.

Consider the struggles of conscience experienced by Sgt. Alvin York.

Consider also the words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

There are good and Godly reasons to defend your loved ones and your homes when they are threatened by a hostile regime.
