Joy at work

Christian Century,  April 5, 2005  

JOY AT WORK: The archconservative World magazine has come to the defense of Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis, a U.S. Marine who has been under fire for saying: "Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling." World's Gene Edward Veith says that there is exhilaration and fierce joy in battle.

Citing Luther's essay "Whether a Soldier Too Can Be Saved," Veith concludes: "As in other vocations, so in the military, there is nothing wrong with enjoying one's work."
