So often scripture is considered violent or bloody-and it is, by todays standards-but it's also important to remember that none of military leaders, prophets or kings enjoyed violence and war. In fact, Moroni was considered "A man that did not delight in spilling blood" but "a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and freedom of his country". Basically, Moroni is considered to be "the perfect man" here. It's advice to all of us. He was "a man who was firm in the faith of Christ" and he "had sworn an oath to defend his people, his religion, and his country even to the loss of his blood."
If I was a solider or a cop, I'd get this as a tattoo.
