WAR IS AN UGLY THING, BUT NOT THE UGLIEST OF THINGS. THE DECAYED AND DEGRADED STATE OF MORAL AND PATRIOTIC FEELING, WHICH THINKS THAT NOTHING IS WORTH WAR IS MUCH WORSE. THE PERSON WHO HAS NOTHING FOR WHICH HE IS WILLING TO FIGHT, NOTHING WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HIS OWN PERSONAL SAFETY, IS A MISERABLE CREATURE AND HAS NO CHANCE OF BEING FREE, UNLESS MADE SO AND KEPT SO BY THE EXERTIONS OF BETTER MEN THAN HIMSELF!JOHN STUART MILL (1806-1873)

This truly is a sad and unfortunate sight. My heart and prayers go out to the families of the soldiers that gave their lives for this country to protect our own! May the wonders of Christ shine in their families' hearts to trust in Him!
