BY Herschel Smith“There are no white hats in this conflict except people who are protecting their homes.”
And I would add “loved ones.”
“There are no white hats in this conflict except people who are protecting their homes.”

Agreed.
Yes. For sure. I am not as complete a thinker as you are Herschel.
I would also add, “protecting their wealth.” Wealth is a gift from God, expected to be used to glorify His name, for His purposes, and under His law.
Proverbs 13:22
The same can be said for most wars…..
“In modern warfare, there’s nothing sweet or fit in dying. You will die like a dog & for no damn good reason.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Wars are started by men who have nothing to lose & everything to gain. They are fought by men who have everything to lose & nothing to gain.”

Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart, 1861:
“Colonel Stuart, if I had my way we would show no quarter to the enemy. No more than the redskins showed your troopers. The black flag, sir.
“If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property. It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity…the loss of free and responsible government. It is the triumph of commerce. The banks, factories.
“We should meet the invader on the verge of just defense…and raise the black flag. No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides. Our political leadership is too timid to face the reality of this coming war. They should look to the Bible. It is full of such wars. Only the black flag will bring the North to its senses and rapidly end the war.”
Gotta Love Stonewall Jackson:
” My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and all men would be equally brave.”
Getting too old.
“to be always ready whenever it overtakes me.
@George 1,
I’d point out that Jackson was a Calvinist, as am I.
