While others pontificate and theorize about war, veterans know about its realities. The present Administration is led by men and women who chose not to go into the military and today have little understanding of war and no comprehension of its horrors. They do not know what you know, or feel what you feel. For all too many of them, war is an abstract exercise in geopolitics.

Most often in human endeavors and relations, pride ultimately results in conceit, attitudes of superiority, greatness, ambition, arrogance or self-exultation. As Christians, we need to constantly remind ourselves of what Christ taught us and of the example he gave us through his life and death. We are called to a life of humble servanthood, the exact opposite of a prideful life.

Amen, and amen.
