Veteran’s Day
Waiting for me in the inbox this morning were messages from two friends who are both strongly religious and staunchly Republican. One message was a video tribute thanking the troops for “defending our freedoms” around the world, the other a rendition of some high school chorus presentation of “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. I wonder what it will take to break the conditioning of those who worship the Prince of Peace on Sunday and the imperial murderers of the DC army every other day.
Perhaps someday these people will celebrate a new song, possibly called the “Peace Hymn of the Republic”.
