God gives me the courage to post. I am praying for your family and for all the beautiful families that send their loved ones to protect our Nation.
PLEASE, ALL. PRAY TOO.
HONOR shown by our soldiers,& respect to their commanders are miracles most of us could NOT perform.
What MIGHTY people our soldiers are! To go out as Christ did to do what they are commanded to do.
A soldiers belief system is an example IN courage that ALL must duplicate.
THANK YOU ALL SOLDIERS for YOUR LOVE of us.From YOUR petty countrymen.
ThankYOU families that make the sacrifice, being with out them for their enlistment.
YOU all should be validated as the BEST of the STRONG,Validated and celebrated for YOUR GIFT to our country,in a time when people forget HOW WONDERFUL our LIBERTIES are.
The PURSUIT of happiness we are guaranteed is KEPT because our SOLDIERS and THEIR families LOVE of the USA~through the ages many lives changed by loss FOR us...

Jesus did not promote war and the apostles were not involved in politics or warfare. Christians should not take up arms against anyone, but should remain peaceable with all people.
"Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men." Titus 3:2
If the rulers of any nation demand that we place ourselves in the position to take another's life, how should we respond?
The same way the apostles did at Acts 5:29--"But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men."
Instead of condoning war, what did Jesus tell us at Matthew 5:44-45? --"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
Christians therefore remain neutral when it comes to waging war against anyone. We must love our enemies as Jesus commanded, not fight against them.

You do realize that not all soldiers are Christians, don't you?
Despite that, I will pray for the soldiers themselves, that the U.S. will never again sacrifice them on the altar of realpolitik. We're not totally responsible for the mess in Iraq, but we didn't exactly improve the the situation there when Reagan and Bush I kept sending chemical and biological weapons to Hussein long after it was well-known that he had used such weapons against the Kurds and the Iranians. Why? Out of self-interest and nothing more.

My brother was in Iraq, thankfully, he came home safely. I too will pray to my Gods for the safety of those still fighting, even though I don't necessarily support this war. Bright Blessings.

Our "soldiers" should not be put in the situation they are currently in. I'll save my prayers for peace and I wouldn't forget the innocent Iraqi citizens our government has slaughtered.
May they one day have freedom FROM our "liberties".

What a disgraceful travesty considering what the US has done in Iraq. America really is the most dangerous country on the planet.
