My dad was a Marine in WW2 and was on many hot spots (Saipan, Okinawa, Tarawa) and became a hardcore JW afterwards. He later saw how corrupt the Dubs were and DA'd. But as a child I used to ask him, "If everyone in the US and allies had been JW's wouldn't Hitler have won and killed all the JW's?" He always replied that, "Jehovah wouldn't allow that."
Well if Jehovah didn't allow Hitler to win, then it means he supported, or at least allowed the anihlation of Hitler thru the means of military might from the opposing sides...afterall HE controls everything and is positioning everything for the FINAL War...correct?
And even if HE didn't have anything to do with it, you should thank our military who sacrificed so much to defeat Hitler so he wouldn't eliminate the JW's and other minority and ethnic groups.
As a Dubbie child I always felt (& still do) that we owed the soldiers from WW2 a great debt of gratitude otherwise we could have been marching into giant ovens here in the States.
This has nothing to do with phoney-baloney wars such as Bush's where I agree with others, stick them in the front line or better yet, their children. I'll send my kids when I see the Bush twins on the front lines in Iraq.
I also would have no problem putting a bullet in the head of someone who has come into my home to do harm to me or my family. The same goes for protecting the country where I live. We just have to keep from being bamboozeled by corrupt politicians and corporate interests.

PS. Wasn't it Patton that something to the effect that..."nobody is a hero by dieing for their country...make the other poor dumb bastard die for his."
