Road Warrior, you are no warrior and I find it detestable that you would use a word that is chalk full of honor, integrity and courage to discribe yourself.

I served with (then) Capt Zembiec and he exuded everything a Marine should be. He is quite possibly the greatest leader I will ever see in my lifetime. War is necessary, always has been, always will be. Evil men will always wage war on the good, it is not the other way around.

The greatest evil a good man can commit, is to stand still and do nothing while evil men harm others. While you promote cowardice and complacency, stand back, get out of the way and learn what a real warrior is.

War is not evil, it is necessary. Murder is evil, not killing. Killing is not evil, it is good when done for a just purpose. Defending those standing to your sides, protecting the innocent and preserving freedom & liberty are all good reason for killing.

Craig, i respect your opinion but i believe you are wrong. I don’t think war is necessary at all. 90% of the war we get involved in has nothing to do with justice or trying to stop evil. And the 10% of war that might be able to be call just is probably avoidable as well.

And if your willing to admit that war is an evil why would you want anything to do with it, even if it is the lesser of evils. It seems like there is always an alternative to evil.

Also, it’s hard to see it as “self-defense” when we are going over “there” (where ever there is) and fighting. It seems like it could only be “self-defense” if we were defending ourselves. I know that sounds obvious but a solid point non the less. When we go, we are attacking not defending. Don’t you think?

Road Warrior,

War is a necessary evil. A lesser evil to destroy a bigger evil. In fact, it is a “self-defense” only on a larger scale.

Doesn’t this just stir in your soul the evil of war? Makes me realize just how wrong war is! I am not a huge fan of Obama but it makes me hope and pray he can full this illuminati promise of ending the wars we are currently involved in. Most of me things it’s an empty promise and that we will just have to deal with the evil of war as long as we all live but i can hope. Not in Obama but in a better day and a better place.

Curt, I missed this post the other day, I am glad you featured it – a fantastic story about a truly remarkable Marine. Maj. Douglas A. Zembiec is guarding the streets of heaven and one day we can thank him in person, but until then Rest In Peace Major! S/f
