Before I start to debate on the Matt`s case, I would like to clarify the notion of `military service`. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, `military service is service by an individual or group in an army or other military organization, whether as a chosen job or as a result of an involuntary draft.` There are many different kinds of military services all over the world. Most countries, including the UK, do not enforce conscription, but some countries, like my country of South Korea, have a system of compulsory military service. And as a South Korean and a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church, I have heard many problems which Christian men are confronted with. In Matt`s case, it seems that he encounters compulsory military service of which he cannot escape. So, I would like to debate the case on the assumption that he has to go to the military by all means and apply his case to my image of military service, which has been build in my mind for a long time.

For example, in Exodus 17: 8-16, there is a Rephidim battle between Amalekites and Isrealites. At that time, all the Isrealites were utterly worn out because of their long journey from Egypt but they were suddenly attacked by Amalekites from behind. The next day, Moses raised troops and they fought against Amalekites bravely and gained victory with the assistance of God. As the Isrealites, Matt should not evade his duty of military service because happiness consists in trying to do one`s duty. And Although it will produce bad results, if there is righteousness, we should fight for justice with good intention.
