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.

Have a read here and here for a start.
