I'm Veteran so lets put that into the mix of the conversation. I offer two contemporary examples for examination.  A Documentary on Desmond Doss, Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient during WWII while serving in combat and never carrying a weapon. UTube available about an hour, speaks to people who grew up with him and people who served with him and people who persecuted him for his faith. The second is Assassination of the monks of Tibhirine in 1996. This is best considered in the film Of God's and Men. Their responses 'grew' organically out of the whole of their faith/life experience, and as you will see in both examples it is choice reaffirmed in so many ways across time, down to the minutes. And both examples are rooted in faith. I found it very humbling to witness these two examples & witness the fact of their 'right' response. Humbling because I know I would be far from it.All are called to be "saints", - these show me what a saint looks like today, like Jesus not like me
