I have a hard time loving my enemies, though I do pray daily for them. I feel that the children of radical Islam are victims, but still must atoll for their deeds.
My religion's text tells me that if my eye wanders to lust over women, women to pluck it out. It also tells me that I should love my neighbor, and embrace life. I used the eye analogy with purpose:
If radical Islam teaches their children to hate me and my infidel family, then so be it. I stand before my God when I pass knowing that I have pulled the trigger to end the suffering of others. I also clearly realize that my unapologetic willingness to kill my enemy will be FORGIVEN.
Iz can forgive the radicals and extremists for what they do, but though forgiven, they will still feel the justice of absolution. I have no desire to be a martyr, but when I go overseas, I go without fear of death, as well as when I walk my city's streets. In both of those scenarios, I will fight to my death gladly to end the opression and radicalism. You are rough men, and you do harm on others behalfs. That is the way of the Soldier, and the way it will remain.
The sheep want radical Islam to be ignored for pc's sake. I say the sheep hate the sheepdog until the wolf arrives. Well the wolf is here, and this sheepdog has a lust for protecting his flock, whether they like it or not.

For posting with an iPhone, all I can say is, "nice thumb action".
Very well said, and thank you taking the time. If I may, I'd like to talk about a few points you made and a comparison with what I saw and heard this week with the BHO speech, (West Point), although, not in any order.
I wish, for just one moment, our leadership, from City Manager, Mayor, Congressman, Senator up to POTUS, could have the courage that you so eloquently said in your opening paragraph. Aside from this country's civilian leadership, we also have a leadership vacuum in the armed forces. There is not one soldier today who hasn't said to himself, "if they would only let us do that which we have been trained to do". We are so afraid to commit our "values of purpose" with "effective action". This new guy, wreaks of filth.
30,000 more troops? I'd settle for 3,000 with purpose.
Go easy on yourself regarding women. My father once said, "if you don't look once, your not a man, ...if you look twice, you're not faithful, ...make the one look count". I guess Tiger Woods missed that one.
I hope, and I pray that I will be forgiven for the wrongs I have done in this life, and I pray that I will always be surrounded by men like these, our brothers. Do pray for your enemies. Pray that they can listen to the still soft voice of reason, and feel the warmth of genuine love. Pray that they do not feel hatred nor anger.
That they should know, I love them as well.
Now on a lighter note. Today I spent several hours with a dear friend, hanging out in his workshop, spinning very nice wood on a lathe into nothing more than fine dust and wood chips resting on the floor. Had leftover Thanksgiving morsels arranged in a warm cup of soup, hot coffee and salted peanuts. Got home, little after dark.
What did you do today?
