The longer I live, the more I think every war is in fact like the VietNam War–even WWII. The “easy” ones like Gulf War I are probably mere skirmishes within a larger confrontation–or white-washed history.

Pray God also maintains our grit to honestly assess our threats and our resolve to take necessary action….
