Okay, forgive me if your resume is starting to strecth credability, here, Vince...

You studied to be a priest
You had a beautiful black girlfriend
You have a good chance to be an officer on a nuclear submarine
You have an offer from a chembio unit...

Since you studied to be a priest, shouldn't your disagreement with the Pope over the 'just' nature of this war be more meaningful for you? I mean, it's not like the Pope is a kind of "Agree with me or don't as far as interpretation goes, I mean, sure, I'm the Pope, but hey, it's free country."

Not that you can't have a different opinion, lots of Catholics I know differ with the Pope here and there about, say, Homosexuality and Abortion Rights and such, but even they don't say

"Oh, sure he SAYS that, he HAS to He's the POPE! But it' not a very big deal"

Did this differing with the Pope cause you to loose any sleep or question your judgement at all, or examine it? And how do you find your desire for "CRAZY motherfucker" generals making the enemy "Shit in their Pants" squares with your Catholascism. Your kind of a
Crusades type catholic, aren't you? Are you going to get off the bus there, opr ride it all the way to "Inquisition" type Catholic?
