They cheer for war, I've little doubt, because they themselves have never had to face meaningless death. Deaths in a foreign land are just a statistic to them, and if "one of our own" is hurt or killed then all too often I only hear something about "prayers for the family".

These people don't see past their own lives. They don't bother to realize that God has blessed others with life too, deserving of as much opportunity to seek Him out as anyone else. To such people, a reasonless war in a foreign land is like a video game. And they don't particularly care to understand that those killed in the real world are neither a high score or flickering sprites that quickly vanish when shot.


It sounds as though his reason has already been subverted.

BINGO!

It never ceases to amaze me that people don’t understand war.

It’s been with us since essentially Cain and Able and that’s pretty much how it’ll end.

And it’s the “Liberation of Iraq” btw, not some “reasonless war”.

But then again, I suppose he has zero concept of his wife and daughters being raped in front of him, which was a daily, well kind of Grand Theft Auto for Saddam and sons!

Among much death and destruction outside of that!

Sheesh!
