So much wasted life. For what?
Then twice a year, on Memorial and Veteran's Day, we wave our flags and feel self-righteous. [inmylife]

it was easy (ier) to delineate the moral lines for WWII and prior, so i'd have to agree, the last 50 years of misdirected warfare seem like such a waste on so many levels. yet .. i believe in a sovereign God and all is within his perview. even the "senseless" wars.

I watched several vet related shows this weekend and there was one man from WWII who said it all. I wish I could remember what he said verbatum but the gist of it was that if we don't learn from our mistakes we will keep repeating them.
War just doesn't mean what it used to. We should have learned from all the deaths how to handle conflicts in a more civilized way. [RueSome]

I was talking to a Kuwaiti friend recently who told me how ecstatic many people were when the U.S. helped liberate Kuwait from Hussein. I know we were there for selfish reasons but every one in a while, there can be some positive side effects. [convoyeur]

I tried the jerked turkey today. Very spicy. I'll try the sun dried tomato turkey next. Yes, cheeses too. The brand of all of them is Boar's Head. [Neogy]

I would have done the same thing. I don't agree with war, it's outdated and immature, however at the same time, I don't fault or look down on the people who have to fight them.
also- thanks for the note! :) [SessySs]
