First of all, your arguments are based upon the IRR callup, which is part of their contract. My comments relate to "Stop Loss" which is not part of the contract.

"I came not to bring peace, but the sword", remember?

So you support war in the name of Jesus?

That's wrong! That is a perversion of everything he represented.

Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

Matthew 26:52
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

Luke 12:51
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

He's talking about the future and the events that will unfold. This verse is not justification for ignoring the dominance of pacifism in the New Testament.
