Today, November 11, 2008 is the day we celebrate to honor military veterans and not just an excuse for students to rejoice because they have no school 🙂 People in our country quickly forget unless there is a crisis, the importance of our military force and how they help to maintain the peace and order in our country. Many people rally for peace but many times don’t understand that peace is controlled mainly by the understanding that if one steps too out of line, force may be necessary….

Now I’m not conducing war, brute war and domination…far from it. However, one must remember that it’s in our nature to cause havoc. See how quickly people lose control when power goes down and mass mentality take over. Take New Orleans for example…when the flood occurred it didn’t take long for looting and vandalizing to take place. Again, I’m not saying that people are inherently evil but sometime depending on the circumstances, one feels they can justify the end. In our own country we need the local police forces to maintain order and in order to defend the country we need the military which brings us to today…Veterans Day 2008. Honor the men and women that protect our country. Our peace would not be here today without them.
