I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.

I'm a very devote Christian and always have been. I've had many military friends and family and I can tell you now that many christians are completely lost on this issue.
What would Jesus do?? How can you watch these people suffer? How can you agree with war!! God HATES WAR! Don't you see!?!?! Jesus is a peacemaker! And they did not fight for our freedom, they have only made things worse! Please, read the Bible, and pray about it a lot and you will see that this war is NOT what God wants!
