Thank you for clarifying. I agree with you, but their sacrifice is not in vain even if we lose what they fought for, and we must fight. They are the martyrs and they have reaped their rewards. And the comfy-cozy types who eschew suffering and pain in this life by selling their souls will face the wrath to come.
We must guard our hearts to be certain we are not among them. Surely my ancestors who fought for this country are resting easy in their graves knowing they are blameless. Would thet we are able to do so as well when our name is called and our number is up.
When Reagan was asked about a speech he gave in Europe near a cemetary that included the graves of Nazi SS troops, his answer was so incisive that it still cuts through me today. The press was trying to create a scandal for him as they always sought to do. He slam dunked them with a one line response that demonstrated his perspective - “Well, they now know the truth.”
It shut down the crazed anti-American press. I never heard them bring the topic up again. RR’s perspective was an eternal unconquorable one. We must strive to have the same. We mourn the dead, but we really mourn ourselves and our mortality. It’s over for the dead. Their mortality is behind them. They now know the Truth.
Thank you.
