Veterans, thank you! You have seen the horrid vileness of war. While we sit here comfortably romanticizing it, having disdain for it, benefiting from it, or worrying about it, you were living it. Thank you for that. Though some might disagree, and some will likely be veterans, I think war hurts everyone, except some corporations, at least superficially they don't get hurt. I may not be a fan of war, expansionism or our imperialistic tendency, but I do respect veterans. They fought bravely, and suffer from it. None of us should be ungrateful. War may be one of the worst things in humanity, but there is hope:
Isaiah Two, Verse Four, or Micah Four, Verse Three.
"He will settle disputes among the nations
and provide arbitration for many peoples.They will turn their swords into plowsand their spears into pruning knives.Nations will not take up the sword against other nations,and they will never again train for war."
This is one of my favorite scriptures, and we, as Christians, have hope!
Vets, thank you! Despite that wretched lot you were given, it will not always be like that. There will be a change, when Jesus returns.
