But God is in the details. You gave many examples that show parallels between the military and the church. Good.
It would give a lot more credibility to your argument if you gave examples also that showed a keen sense of how the church is very different from the military.
For example, there should be someplace for every believer in the church, even while, say, undergoing a process of discipline.
Generally agreeing.

That’s not the case in the army.
Of course, it is kind of difficult to demand certain characteristics when the CiC does not show the example...
In shape and ready for action...
Honesty and honor...
Language and attitude...
Integrity and concern...
Kind of difficult to expect one thing from followers, and nothing from perceived role model.
