“... Americans don’t want to lose this war ...”
A really good kid from our church was killed over there. His dad told the younger dads at a recent camp out to take time for such times with their kids b/c they don’t know how long they will have together.
Anyway, he and his family gave all. In a way, he and other like him stood in the gap for us. Maybe my little boys won’t have to go to war, thanks to the good guys.
If the generals think we can win it and see a way forward, I think Obama should take their advice.
I prayed when my boys were born that there wouldn't be a war when they got older. Our younger son enlisted 2 weeks before 9/11 and every moment of his two deployments was nearly unbearable for us, but God graciously allowed him to come home.
I don't take for granted for one second what we were given, and I pray for each member of each family of those who have fallen and the unbearable grief they have to deal with.
The thought that our troops, who truly stand in the gap for us, now have a CinC who doesn't give a rip about them is devastating, especially after having President Bush, who respected and loved them. I doubt that Obama will make the right decision. That would take judgement and character, and he has neither.
PRAY for our troops.
