"The attractive rainbow that rises in showers of blood." Abraham Lincoln. If one of the most famous presidents had this realistic view of war, shouldn't we? I have been reading a book about the military. And I realized that the honor and glory that seems to come with the military is not quite all there is to it. If you join the military, you ARE being trained to kill people. I am not giving you my opinion on joining the military, I do not want to influence you because it is quite likely that I am wrong. I am just encouraging caution when thinking about the military. This is just a short thought from my life. Even if you think the military is evil, joining does not make the person evil. Hate the sin, not the Sinner. So there just a short Post it note from my life.
