The best way to honor women in the military is to insure that they can serve without being harassed because they are women.

“Honoring America’s Women in the Military” is the name of the article. I say ‘thank you’ to all women serving, past and present. I’m grateful.

In a perfect world with perfect people we would never see a war. Unfortunately this isn’t a perfect world and there is no such thing as a perfect person. As long as we have psychopaths born we will have wars.

As long as we have hunger we will have wars. As long as we have lazy and greedy people we will have wars. As long as we have people who are sheep and wolves we will have wars. So the bottom line is we will always have wars.

Be thankful there are people who will go and fight these wars so you don’t have to. When they die doing it pray for them, when they are wounded help them. But above all respect them.

Memorial Day is not a celebration of war mongering. It is a solemn occasion to honor the sacrifice that many have made in our name. By and large their service was honorable, even if they have been sent to questionable wars.

That is why it was wrong for those who opposed the Vietnam war to spit on returning service members. If you are against a particular war or use of our military, fight to stop it.

I agree that many people who are in the military today have limited choices and they are exploited and not treated well when they return. That is not a good reason to not honor their service. I agree we often send them to war when we shouldn’t. Take that up with the federal government.

We need more women in our armed forces. We need their observations. We need their dispositions. We need their bravery. What we don’t need is any more penilic loose cannons distracting the world from our mission of peace. We live in very dangerous times and the stakes are enormous.l Let the entire population enforce our constitution and implement our policy.
