Veterans Day

"They say this mystery shall never cease: the priest promotes war, and the soldier peace." - William Blake

I find it ironic that the people I know ,who identify themselves as Christians and/or do not support War, are the same people I know who own guns, go shooting for fun, play violent video games, watch rated r movies, are afraid of middle eastern people, and criticize men who volunteer to serve the government.

Yet my father, who has been shot twice and killed more men than he knows, will not go near a gun, would never question another man's honor without knowing him, and watches cartoons and kids movies.
