It is disobeying Jesus' command of "love your enemy" by approving to kill their enemy. Jesus is also prince of peace.
So they have no business calling themselves Jesus' followers or Christians who are pro-military.
Yet they call themselves true and saved Christians. Pro-military Christians are dragging Jesus down to our level of worldliness.
Reference:
Matthew 5:43-48
New International Version (NIV)
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord
