Yes. Christians are not required to be pacifists.

I highly recommend the book at the link. It is titled: A Time to Kill (the myth of Christian Pacifism)

Neither Jesus nor any of the Apostles asked or told soldiers to give up their profession, for example.

Well then I submit to you, that she is making it clear she’s going to continue to wage war on us up until her last breath. In my mind that entitles her to nothing from me, because she has said by her actions that she is an active combatant until the end.

I like to point out that when Jesus gave his admonition for the apostles to obtain swords (for he was going away soon), the disciples actually had 2 swords in their possession. Leaves the “pacifists” speechless...
