We all make mistakes. I’m sorry, did I overstep my bounds? How can I make that up to you?
In 1945 six American B-24H Liberators accidentally bombed Zurich, in neutral Switzerland. Two airmen faced court-martials for that error.
From 1940 to 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force and the British Royal Air Force released bomb loads on Switzerland no fewer than 70 times. In 1949 the U.S. government agreed to pay $14.4 million in reparations to Switzerland for damages inflicted by American military operations during the war.
That makes for a very interesting analogy. Don’t hurt those who are not your enemy. Make sure you can clearly distinguish between friend and foe. If you wronged anyone, pay for the damage.
Look at Scripture:
But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.
Galatians 6:10
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
The Bible teaches believers are in warfare. This warfare includes friendly fire, false brethren, deception, sacrifice and perseverance.
Don’t give up even if you are in a service where you may have to face a trial.
Think about it.
