I have often wondered if loyalty is a gift or if it is earned. In my time as a soldier at 18, leading men to battle as barely a man, it makes you wonder with a great chances of being wounded or killed, why they followed. I know I wouldn’t follow an 18-year-old leading me anywhere,today, much less into battle.

I find no loyalty in politicians today, not from any party. The debt grows and will never stop because men who own the power over us, have gained and controlled the commitment of congress to spend money they didn’t have in the name of endless need.

The sounds of “WAR” are being shouted everywhere, and the leaderless leaders are ramping up the populations to be ready to fight. The Russians are leading the way as the world’s nations enhance their military and preach their needs as nations to rectify any wrongs from other countries.

Peace, the greatest gift to the loyalty of any country, is being again sounded to war, as if in the 1930s; GOD helps us.

Those who can win a war, can rarely make good peace, and those who could make a good peace, would never have won the war.
