I guess we all agree that wars are not fun for those who are there where the metal is flying nearby.also it is not a great life to look at yourself in the mirrow each morning if you ran from the field of battle.or let innocent civilians die at the hands of those who wont fight like men of honor.If you are going to RANGER school..You must get a new attitude of commitment..It is better to not go than to be culled out..But many have made it through when they were inspired by real leaders and fellow soldiers..it is not an easy life being a Ranger. <> But when this war is over..Hopefully very soon..We must all get together and elect Mr Varosilov king of the earth.If we did this i believe there would be peace..He never makes anyone angry..Yet he can get his point across very effectively..He seems to be a very honorable man.

I hear them say Chistians are war like folks.I have person experience in this area. I picked up a beer drinking habit in Vietnam..I did not look around for a church house ,,I hang out in bars where few christians meet.Not only in that country but back in the USA,I have been cut several times, hit with bar stools, beer bottles ,poolsticks, pistols.clubs,pipe,and had guns pulled on me several times and was lucky enough to get them from the person who was intending to shoot me.I cant remember all that happened but there is not a large group of peaceful citizens in beer drinking establishments.They seem to enjoy a good brawl..But later i went to several churches..they said they were christians there..never once did anyone try to attack me..i saw no fights in any church house i went into,,the folks all seemed to wish the best for each other,.So I wonder who is saying Christians like fighting? they need to go to a crowded bar room in the bad part of Houston,,Down by the docks,,then come tell me about christians and wars.

Ronan:

Are you having second thoughts about being an 11B?

Like, "Could I really pull the trigger on another human being?"

Sergeant York was a devout Christian who had no problem with performing his duty as a soldier.

It's something you have to do with your mind. I would think anyways.

Block it out maybe?

All right I am a Christan not of any paticular branch like catholic or baptist.. Why are we brothers Christan, Muslim and Jewish fighting amongst one another.. the only think that seperates us is religious dogma really.. I canot understand why people grow thier whole lives to be full of such hatred and rage to kill oneself and so many inocent people.. really what have i done to be targeted by such hatred.. Here in America i have many friends Mormon, Jewish, Catholic and muslim..we do not fight but suopport one another through our beliefe in god.. we understand our differences and respect this.. Tell me why everyone has so many reasons to hate when they never see common ground first.

Well, Ronan, we are not really brothers with the muslims. We are infidels; they (the true faithful Quran reading muslims) are taught in their holy book to kill the infidels. The muslims here either do not follow the teachings completely or are like a lot of Christians, never read the book for themselves.
Muslims here in the US were never mistreated or discriminated against. The same can not be said for other religions in muslim countries. There is nothing brotherly about their religion, except between muslims. So brother hood between Jews, Christians, and real muslims cannot happen because they do not want it. They want us muslim or dead, they want the whole world to follow Islam and live like they do. Nothing less is acceptable. That is not acceptable life style to most of us.....so.....
