Maybe a President who didn’t believe our soldiers were going to heaven might be a little less willing to get them killed
Provocative? Perhaps.
But I know that I, personally, am much less willing to ask people to die to secure more oil to maintain my lifestyle now that I believe that once they die they are completely, irrevocably dead. I didn’t realize how precious life is until I knew how easy it is to lose it forever.
No, the soldiers who die won’t see their families again in heaven. Their mothers and fathers, spouses and children will never see the fallen again. Children will have to grow up without Mommy or Daddy. They will never again speak with them, hug them, or kiss them. They will never hear them laugh again.
Who am I to ask someone else to pay that eternal price so that I can drive my car and watch my DVDs?
