War is truly hell, and I think our valiant soldiers have endured more than enough hell already.

Very intense and a great capture of the reality of war, not the hero cartoon variety but the real live blood and guts of war.

Yes, war is a hell bestowed upon orphans, M.I:A.'s, waiting families by an ever repetitive lie that despite being said so many times can't become a truth.

Exactly that is why it should never be the answer. I'm not sure what the answer is, but like you I will always salute our men and women who fight for us; but I will always pray for the answer we do not see yet or live.

Sooooooooooooo heartfelt Karla. Yes war is hell, and I am in awe of our fighting forces that go to other lands and give their lives for freedom and democracy. It pains me tho that there have to be wars. I wish that all of the people of the earth could get along peacefully, doing their jobs and hobbies. War is a political entity, and should be oulawed all over the world. Thank you for sharing this very heartfelt and soulful write.

May the Lord Jesus Bless you, and all of our fighting men and women, and those whom they love, and love them. May He be with all of them always, and at their sides constantly. May the Lord's mercy shine on those who give their lives to help others gain freedom and democracy, and live peaceful lives. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), sister Barbie

Man has never learned about the horrors of war. That is because those in power never experienced war. They should be in the front line. Victor
