We owe them NOT to ask them to lay down their lives for one sect of Islam over a different sect of Islam
We owe them not to send them in to fight and die against an enemy ARMED and TRAINED by ourselves.
A dumb article. The whole reason we fight is to defeat enemies before they become strong enough to kill our families here. We either stand by and watch militant Islam gain territory, slaughter innocents and develop into a larger, nuclear-armed force or we kill them off now while we can.
The only proviso I would make is that ALL of us train and be ready to serve. No more of this “somebody else will do it for me” crap.
Starbuck’s coffee shop had the most poignant Memorial Day salute to the fallen:
As you walk in, right near the entrance, a table is set, covered w/ a white cloth, with one place setting and a fallen soldier’s camouflage hat.
The place setting awaits the fallen soldier....a dinner plate, a wine glass, a bud vase w/ a red rose, and a lighted votive candle....
....the candle flame stretches high......saluting our fallen heroes.
