large numbers of Protestant leaders actively campaigned against U.S. military policy
This is something I really admire in some (unfortunately, too few) religious leaders. It is also mind-boggling how some Christians can be for war and at the same time against abortion. Both of those should be MURDER to them as a book important to Christians says "You shall not kill". Apparently, one of Commandments has asterisks (do not KILL unless...) for some who think they are Christians.
In a world where there is a large industry complex selling weapons, generating profits and jobs, what is the chance that lasting peace will take place?
Do you really think it is this binary or black and white? All Christians need to be pacifists or STFU?
but religious people should have been in arms against US adventures abroad in last 20 years.
War is a part of humanity and has been going on long before industry and profitsThe left fell in love with Marxism in the 30's and never looked back. It was understood that Marxism was the way of the future and the West just had to get used to it and knuckle under at each advance, any defensive action on our part was overwhelmingly condemned as being provocative and unreasonable. Then Reagan came along and had a different idea--we win, they lose and they did.
Then follow the example of the Swiss - stay neutral and never start a warand live in the Alps.

And teach every man in your country how to defend it, including issuing them a military grade rifle they keep for life.
US would learn from their murderous mistakes? It was the Viet Cong backed by communist China and Russia whose soilders embedded with civilian populations.
Without war there perhaps would be another very pro-US country in SE Asia.
Vietnam is currently one of the most pro-American countries in SE Asia

That can be changed as well - give them enough time here. Time can fix anything and boy do does the U.S. know how to "fix" things.
Better yet start deporting them in numbers because we changed our mind about them really be political refugees.

Your children or grandchildren ready to head off and fight the "yellow man " ?
At the time, I thought that the US would learn from their murderous mistakes, but very quickly they got back on track.
