The Good Samaritan (Clip 6 of 6)

In the sixth and final clip associated with the Soldiers of Conscience lesson plan, Maj. Pete Kilner recalls the Biblical story of The Good Samaritan. Had the Good Samaritan arrived earlier in the story, when the victim was still being beaten, would it have been the Christian thing to do to use (possibly lethal) force to stop the beating? Students should discuss the arguments they have heard for and against killing in wartime.
