War: And the After Effects of Those Doing the Dirty Work of Killing – PAPERBACK

Leith Lyman Cunningham

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones” (Albert Einstein). “Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die” (Herbert Hoover). “Only the dead have seen the end of war” (Plato). “If you win, you need not have to explain . . . If you lose, you should not be there to explain!?” (Adolph Hitler). “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people” (Howard Zinn). “To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace” (George Washington). “It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being” (George Washington). “Better to fight for something than live for nothing” (George S. Patton). “In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it” (Erwin Rommel) “A society will be judged by how it treats its weakest members” (Harry S. Truman). My own battle experience as a front-line combat machine gunner. Unlike the sniper that fires a lethal shot at a specific enemy soldier and instantly sees another human ripped to pieces and dropped stone cold dead on the spot, and then having to live with that image the rest of his life. As a machine gunner one expends hundreds of rounds into enemy soldiers moving toward or away from you, along with other small arms fire or whatever weapons are being used. There will normally be dead and mangled enemy bodies if you go forward after a repelled attack, but no one knows whose bullet or weapon done the damage. In either case however, war is absolute insanity and may Jesus Christ return to earth to establish the kingdom of God here and do away permanently with war and the killing of Gods children.
