[QUOTE="SteveIndy, post: 71976819, member: 202439"] By the way Mark, I am a two tour veteran of Vietnam 1968-1969 so I am not speaking as one who cannot relate firsthand to war and death, and I am not proud of what I did. I go to the Veteran's hospital and I see all of those vets wearing their badges and hats trying to convince themselves that what they did was right. I have two friends that I enlisted with who have never been able to cope with the fallout of that afair. One has never married and lives in a cabin in the woods where he stays up as long as possible drinking coffee so that he can avoid sleeping and nightmares. The other was turned into an animal who nearly killed his wife. The largest clinic of that hospital is the psyciatric ward and the posters on every wall encourage vets to call the suicide hotline before pulling the trigger. Do you really think they want to be told they are a hero when all they want to do is end the pain. We were not created to take life, we were created to save lives, and for the life of me I cannot understand why Christians can't grasp that idea that is written all through the N.T. in glaring language.
