"We can dispute the politics of any war — Iraq, Afghanistan or any others," said Bing West

SInce war should not be political, this is not strictly true.

"In the magazine article, he was quoted as calling a firefight in Fallouja "the greatest day of my life."

"I never felt so alive, so exhilarated, so purposeful," he said the day after a battle in which two of his troops were killed and 18 wounded. "There is nothing equal to combat and there is no greater honor than to lead men into combat."

He sounds like someone who knows exactly what he's doing.

reminded me of the Winston Churchill quote, “There is nothing so exhilarating as being shot at and missed!”

"One of the most noble things you can do is kill the enemy," he once said.

America has lost a true patriot!

Prayers for his family ~ a true hero. May he rest in peace.

 

The Mansions of the Lord
Click the picture for music

Click to hear "Mansions of the Lord"

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
To the Mansions of the Lord.

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord.
