In our small church we have over 60 men and women on active duty in the military on our weekly prayer list.

Each one of these military people is a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, a father or mother, a nephew or a niece, an uncle or an aunt, a cousin or someone's friend. They didn't volunteer to make some loser in life feel good.

We lost one young marine in our town. He was the marine sargent who was killed in the helicopter crash this past spring. He grew up here and was buried here.

One of our Freepers has a husband and a son in the Army. Several have sons or daughters in the military.

The blood thirsty arm chair admirals and generals fortunately have zero impact with the people who will decide when it is time for the next phase. If they want to start fighting early, we can take up a collection and buy them a one way ticket. They can go battle Saddam in the summer in Iraq.

It is hotter than hades in Iraq now. Fighting a war in the middle east in the summer would be dumber than the Germans trying to defeat the Russians during the winter deep in Russia.

I have been saying it will be during the winter. The heat is too hard on the troops and the equipment. We saw in Afghanistan, that British boots melted.
