No More War:  a Soldiers Viewpoint

Hey you! Yes, you with the bumper sticker that says

NO MORE HIROSHIMAS

why not have one that says

NO MORE 

PEARL HARBOURS

  • This was copied from an American site. I did so because I agree with the thought that only a people who are willing to fight are likely not to have to. 
  • Those who advocate appeasement, those who stand on the footpath and scream "No more war" might better spend their time telling the Kaisers, the Hitler's, the Pol Pot's, the Mussolini's, the Tojo's, the Saddam's "No more invasions".
  • It is the soldier, not the reporter, that has given us freedom of the press
  • It is the soldier, not the poet, that has given us freedom of speech
  • It is the soldier, not the campus organiser, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate
  • It is the soldier, not the lawyer who has given us the right to fair trial
  • It is the soldier,
    • who salutes the flag,
    • who serves beneath the flag and
    • whose coffin is draped by the flag
  • that allows the protestor to burn the flag.

    Father Denis E O'Brien, USMC
