I decline to baptize peoples' kids until they are at least 9 or 10
Interesting. This was the position of the Anabaptists in the Reformation. Link
Choice quotes: "The baptism of infants is a horrible abomination"
"To baptize a child is of no more use than baptizing a cat"
You might not hold quite such strong views as this. Or you might.

I don't know why this question is being so heavily downvoted. It's actually very pertinent.
The Indonesian government line is that "the enemy" was a spontaneous uprising of local, Timorese, pro-Indonesia militia groups, but this is a pretty shaky claim IMO.
I would say that it's more likely that Hawkeye's dad was fighting Jakarta-sponsored militia groups, if not elements of the Indonesian army themselves.
