I disagree.
Would you make the same statement if we were discussing the health demise of Stalin, Mao, Po Pot, Hitler?
All of them are responsible for harming a countries stability and the lives of many many people.
The deeds of those responsible for making certain any country continues to exist cannot be meek or “kind”.
Survival depends on hard men doing tasks while others sleep cozy in the dark, safe in beds not knowing....
George and the boys were not kind.
They got up in the dark,
went out into the cold,
to cross a river,
to visit the Huns working for the British.
And they did it on the day most Christian, Christmas.
Because that’s what it took to make america happen.
Too bad too few are willing to do the same today.
I lament the lack of great men, and you say kindness costs nothing. I say it may end up costing us a Republic, just as Franklin worried over. It seems we pray for vastly different things.
