peace.......war-mongering, hmmmm.
Let's bring it down to the "at-home" level shall we? What if a war, any war, got so out of hand that our government had to pass out rifles and machine guns to those citizens left at home? (me and you) And, what if the enemy were coming down your street to kill you? Would you fight them to protect your freedom then?
Surrendering --
Okay, if you would prefer to surrender, what if the enemy brought you before a firing squad and asked you to denounce all that you believe in or die? My point is, is your life worth so much that nothing else matters? Do you pledge allegiance to the enemy just so you can keep on eating, sleeping and shitting for a few more years? When does it become worth it to stand up and defend the freedom we hold so dear to us at all costs?
It's fine to value peace, I do as much as anyone, but in times like this I value the fact that our countries have some military clout as well. If the time ever came that I myself (old as I am) were needed to pull the trigger a few times for our freedom, I gladly would in a second.
As a side-note, a funny thing happens when you choose to believe in a higher power.... you become less afraid to die for your beliefs and you trust in something larger than yourself. Ex: point a gun in MY face and tell me to renounce MY beliefs, and guess what? I'll tell you to go fuck yourself.
