We have a son in Iraq that is now in harms way. We come from a military background. From the beginning of this countries origin as the United States of America, someone in our family has fought against our enemies. So nothing has changed! Now; another relative is fighting against evil civilizations. But this enemy is different! How would this enemy be different? They have political and financial ties that present a different paradigm for combat, according to previous wars.
The enemy is extremely vicious. They have been planning their subsequent hostile take over of the world, for many centuries. Historically, these so-called Arabs were the descendants of Abraham and Hagar, Sarah’s personal slave of Egyptian descent. The prophecy concerning their offspring, Ishmael, was that his descendants would be as a wild man, his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him. The story can be found in Genesis chapter 16.
Also; the Arab nations have the genealogy of Esau. Esau was Jacob’s twin brother, but there the similarities end. Esau was an earthy man, and his pursuits took him away from the family’s moral objective, righteousness! Esau came to hate his brother and desired to kill him. However, other plans awaited Jacob, and the rest is historically documented in the Genesis account.
So; what does this have to do with this war? Plenty! The Arab Nations want to destroy the little nation of Israel-Now! Israel descended from Jacob, and the Arabs (all inclusive term here) descended from Ishmael and Esau. The latter descendants (Arabs) have no love for Israel or-the United States either. They wanted to impose the way of Islam upon the known world of Prince Charles time, 732 CE. Their plan was interrupted by Prince Charles (Charles Martel) in 732 CE. The story is told:
“The Muslims planned to go to Tours to destroy the Ch--ch of St. Martin, the city, and the whole country. Then came against them the glorious Prince Charles, at the head of his whole force. He drew up his host, and he fought as fiercely as the hungry wolf falls upon the stag. By the grace of Our Sovereign, he wrought a great slaughter upon the enemies of Chr--tian faith, so that---as history bears witness---he slew in that battle 300,000 men, likewise their king by name Abderrahman. Then was he [Charles] first called "Martel," for as a hammer of iron, of steel, and of every other metal, even so he dashed: and smote in the battle all his enemies. And what was the greatest marvel of all; he only lost in that battle 1500 men. The tents and harness [of the enemy] were taken; and whatever else they possessed became a prey to him and his followers. Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, being now reconciled with Prince Charles Martel, later slew as many of the Saracens as he could find who had escaped from the battle.” [Historical Account.]
Notice that this was a religious war (Jihad) between Islam and the Chr--tians. The current war is also religious by connotation and content. Prince Charles was called “Martel” because of his actions against Islam. He smashed them as a hammer smashes things with enough force applied. So it should be with Allied Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The powers that be should allow these (our) troops to fight and destroy the enemy with all the fierceness of Prince Charles “Martel” the hammer! Let these men fight, and destroy everything in their path, and LET THEM WIN! Let’s get unstuck from Stupid!
Take the politics and financial wherewithal, (Can we say oil here?) out of the equation. Let the chips fall where they may! After all; Armageddon is going to occur anyway, and there is nothing the human race can do about that! But! There can be a moment of pause, a time of respite before it all ends as we know it! Either way, the choices are few, but we need to make them count!
