JUSTICE & TRUTH

The two key virtues of a healthy democracy are TRUTH and JUSTICE!

Without TRUTH ("veritas" in Latin) and JUSTICE ("iustitia" in Latin), the Republic is ALWAYS in danger of collapsing from within.

Witness the recent Pat Tillman Fratricide debacle. SPC Tillman, a former NFL Football Player, in a wave of Patriotic fervor, forsook a millionaire lifestyle as an NFL player in order to help defend the enemies to the Constitution, both foreign and domestic.

Then, as part of a convoy op in Iraq, Tillman was gunned down, not by insurgents, but by his own fellow American soldiers.

Was this a mistake? Did Tillman just get caught in the cross-fire? OR was Tillman murdered in cold blood by fellow American soldiers who may have been jealous of Tillman's civilian accomplishments?

Sadly, the answer is murky, and murky due to the cover-up that has ensued. One 3 Star General and Two 1 Star Generals were formally reprimanded by the Secretary of the Army for their roles in the cover-up.

TRUTH gone out the window in the Army chain of command!

Sadly, this proclivity towards deception, falsehood and lying is seeming to be part and parcel of what our United States Military is all about now.

Gone are the days when Americans reluctantly went to war, and only as a last resort to stifle the Japanese and German quests for world domination. No, instead of WW II, our military is still stuck in the Vietnam era. We fight not for freedom, but for oil, for revenge, and well, just because we collectively like looking at ourselves in uniform.

Sad, but true, and this evaluation comes from someone who has a Father who fought in both Korea and Vietnam and an uncle who bravely fought in WW II in Germany.

No, rather than "anti-military," my perspective is ANTI-EVIL! If our Nation's soldiers, airmen, and sailors are becoming deceitful, unjust and increasingly less Christian (and more pagan, even becoming practicing witches and satanists like the Columbine killers!), then folks, we have a MAJOR problem on our hands.

My prayer in JESUS' Name is that the United States Military go through a systematic cleansing of evil. May those who lie, act unjustly and kill only for sport or profit be shown the exit door and live out the rest of their earthly lives at some bar watching Monday Night Nitro wrestling!

Instead, my prayer in Jesus' Name is that our military become INCREASINGLY CHRISTIAN and live according to the Ancient tenets of Christian Knighthood. TRUTH, JUSTICE, honoring women (or honoring men), and ONLY fighting in order to protect the innocent.

Blessings in Jesus,
Rob J. King, KNIGHT FOR JESUS
