Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!*
The balloon will be going up on the Fallujah operation probably today or tomorrow and thus begin a period of indeterminate length in which we will lose a lot of good Marines. Take it from me, urban, house-to-house fighting is the worst type of warfare their is. (I chased a sniper into a pitch-black tunnel under the DMZ in Korea and ran down a squad of Cuban infantry through the airport at Fort Georges, Grenada.) As if any type of warfare is good. Natural cover abounds and you don't have enough eyes in your head to keep track of where all the fire is coming from, and a grenade or RPG is your biggest fear. Pray for all of our boys and girls as this operation commences.
That said, many will die on this Holy Crusade and the blood of all involved is on Bush's hands. Are these the moral values the people of Jesusland voted for? Guess what, Jesuslanders, the blood of those Marines who will die in Falluja, and the other half-dozen cities that will have to be pacified, is on your hands now too. He is your prophet and you gave him his 'mandate'. I ask this one question. Would the kind, benevolent Jesus I learned about in my limited Roman Catholic education want this?
