I never have been involved in politics.
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God.
You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.
The way you see your life shapes your life.
The first purpose of your life is to be loved by God! Yes, it is important to serve him, obey, and trust him, but your first purpose is to love him.
So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.
