| Notes | “Among US soldiers in combat [in World War II], less than twenty-five percent actually fired their weapons at the enemy. Even with their own lives at risk, seventy-five percent did not try to kill the enemy.”
-Brigadier SLA Marshall, US Army Historian
To kill or not to kill? For some, the war is within. Soldiers in the U.S. Army today reveal their deepest moral concerns about killing in war. Their message: every soldier wrestles with his/her conscience over killing. Although most decide to kill, some refuse.
This film works hard to give every side a fair hearing, while at the same time tells powerful stories of conscientious objectors. One is Josh Casteel, who’s Christian faith played a pivotal role in transforming his thinking.
