A Word About This War

by
Todd Bennett





A word about this war. There are those who say the soldiers died for nothing. That is wrong. For as long as there are men and women willing to die to support the cause of freedom, there are millions of Americans who are inspired to contribute more themselves. Though the interests of freedom have not been well served by this war, the interest of self-governance and political activism have been. Casey Sheehan's courage was indeed exploited, along with thousands of others. However, the great lie of this war is not able to overshadow the great truth of soldiers like Casey: That belief in and love for one's nation can never be in vain, for it is the purity of that love which cleanses our country of the tyranny of those who would undermine it. Our fight to end this war bears that point out. We have lost brave men and women in this war, but their sacrifice has bestowed upon us a great gift: We have our will back, and this administration was not planning on that.
