  3. 85 noticed signs of war

  4. At least 46 have friends or family serving in the military or defense department

  5. Questions were raised Are the wars creating a violent culture? Is there a different place that offers discipline and support besides the military? Who is my enemy? Is poverty supplying the military? Are we hearing the truth? Is protesting the war unpatriotic?

Soldiers are coming back with problems, like PTSD, that we aren’t adequately treating The military offers a community and sense of purpose A lot of money being spent on the military and private defense contractors War tactics are dehumanizing The military provides jobs, a way to go to college and experience Impacts were seen Our culture is being desensitized by violence Recruitment myths and misrepresentation of military benefits Domestic social services are underfunded The media controls our perspective Patriotism is seen as supporting the war

  8. Where is God? “Bringing healing, that’s where God is in this.” “God is with people in a special way in the midst of brokenness. These painful situations don’t make God happy, and no one wants pain so that they can be close to God, but he shows up.” “God is expressed in how we share our ideas of Jesus with the rest of the world.” “God is abused in the conversations about war… God gets used as a pawn, and it gives people reason to turn away from Christianity.” “Jesus didn’t come into the world at a time when there were no human rights abuses, Jesus came into a violent empire in which people were killing babies on a mass scale. People expected him to act politically then, and they expect him to act politically now, but he’s not going to work through some political system, he’s building the kingdom through our hearts and minds.” “I see Him here, I have the support to say I don’t agree with militarism.” “God works through relationships: even in corruption of war, he’s there.” “I think God wants us to speak up more and tell the military what we think would be better.  Like not having the army and be peaceful.”
