The people who care about this country (and Petraeus and John Roberts ought to be two such persons) have an obligation to step up and say, "Here's what I know: here's what really going on -- this is gonna cost me, but I need to tell you all about this ..."
But, today, almost no one has the courage necessary to do such things.
I’m in the middle of writing an article, hoping to explain the theological term “propitiation” with everyday concepts. One of the illustrations I am using is that of a soldier or Marine throwing themselves on a grenade to save their friends. During the Vietnam War, 67 of 247 Medals of Honor, 27%, were earned for such actions.
Most of these men were PFCs, Corporals and Sergeants, with a few Lieutenants and Staff NCOs. Men with their entire lives ahead of them, yet they chose to save their friends. We have a political leadership class who have been amply rewarded by the fruits of our country, most of them for many, many years. When will someone in power, with credibility AND inside knowledge, “fall on a grenade” for his/her country?
As Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 ESV
