Restoring Our Military 

     Did you ever? Some 800 generals and admirals from around the world sat quietly in the Quantico, Virginia Marine base this week. Most of them were older than our age 40 Defense Secretary.    

     I think we won WWII with far fewer officers. Was this a call to war? 

     Pete Hegseth, read about it on your computer, made his case. We are no longer going to be politically correct - but discourage war - by preparing. Every soldier and sailor - officers included - will become physically fit, and whatever else they can do to protect America.   

     We aren't protected by DEI rules, or overweight officers more interested in their careers. Hegseth said those in the room not interested in the required leadership are welcome to retire. 

     Peace. Strength. Competence. Training. Lethality. Risk taking. Merit. Standards. Fitness. Leadership. Obedience. 

     "No more playing games," Hegseth said as he paced across the stage, apparently without teleprompters. "No more walking on eggshells."

Views: Christians, Pete is one, aren't guaranteed success, safety, or health. We may enjoy such, but to suffer for Jesus as he suffered for us is righteous. 

The U.S. may become greater in freedom, safety, success etc. For a time. But enjoying our Lord comes first. 

As for the Lord, Views is going back to Sunday blogs, focused on the Bible. If you want to pass that up, we'll see you on Mondays.  😉
