Comfort, Safety and The Role of the Military

Lately, I have been increasingly grateful for the role that our military has historically played. I recently finished a book written by Senator John McCain called Faith of My Fathers in which Senator McCain recalls the many daring maneuvers that his grandfather and father made during WW II in order to protect FREEDOM from Nazi aggression and Japanese Imperialism. From staying submerged on a U.S. submarine for as absolutely long as back-up electrical power would hold (in order to avoid detection by enemy Japanese ships) to bravely equipping the Marines in the Pacific with much needed supplies in order to hold on to key strategic positions, the McCain Family was quite adept at out-maneuvering the Japanese.

Fast forward to 2007. Whereas the enemy of the U.S. in 1945 was pretty straight forward (Germans who butchered 10 million people in gas chambers and concentration camps), today the "enemy" is less noticeable.

Sadly, not only do we have Islamic infiltration in the domestic U.S. (some of the 9/11 hi-jackers actually trained at flight schools right here in the state of Florida . . .), but we also have many hidden dangers within our very own Federal Government. Abuses of due process under law. Military leaders who can be corrupt. War profiteering by the Vice President.

Our enemies to the U.S. Constitution truly are foreign and now domestic.

In spite of this murky situation as a super-power crumbling (i.e. out-of-wedlock pregnancies, rampant drug use, sky-rocketing divorce rates, etc.), we nevertheless are being shown mercy by the LORD Almighty. I can comfortably go to the public library and check out a book written by a Supreme Court Justice and read it without fear, unlike places like communist China. I can similarly walk to Starbuck's coffee shop, bring my Bible and openly read the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ and even share the Gospel with other people openly, seeking their conversion, unlike places such as Tehran, Iran.

We live in a free country, but more importantly a country with a strong heritage of Jewish and Christian teaching, law and culture.

Thank you Senator McCain for faithfully upholding and defending this Nation's Judeo-Christian identity.
