I am a Vietnam Navy veteran and have seen the horrors of War, first hand! Believe me television nor can the big screen properly depict war. If you saw the destruction and devastation that was causes you probably would stop watching war movies period! When war possibly might be necessary if when other alternatives have failed such as our first two wars.

We reminisce what we could have done differently,
wanting only a war without casualties!
A war where nobody dies especially children.
I call this a media and
newspaper war, unfortunately
a war like this doesn't exist!
A clean somewhat dainty kind of war,
where there is no collateral damage!
A war without agonizing pain,
hurt, and sorrow!
One without Agent Orange,
our enemy especially our soldiers were
affected by such a harsh damaging chemical
innocently used during the Vietnam War!
A war where children were used to blow up American soldiers, and the children were very young!
Can you imagine killing a child to save your comrades, can you?
Air support completely demolished a home village, women, and children alike!
Yes, body parts unidentifiable scattered across the terrain.
Nameless people, nameless victims, nameless souls, hoping there is a hereafter and salvation possible!
Wake up World war is horrific! It is
dirty, bloody, oftentimes senseless.
We are all brothers, sisters. fathers, and mothers belonging to the greatest race of people on the earth, the human race, framework and masterpiece of the Creator's meticulous hands!
Problems begin with us solutions are within us, reachable.
If you want the perfect war find solutions not to start them!
Start loving and talking to
one another again,
behold, peace is eminent!

Have a blest peaceful Memorial Day.

Michael,
My dearest brother, I don't know how I missed this one! You have lived through a horrific nightmare of war. God brought you through it, He has a plan for you. "If you want the perfect war find solutions not to start them." Words of wisdom and promise. You have penned a poem everyone in America should read. Peace and love to you.

Blessings+

~Linda
