A Youth's View From The Right

We Are In A War

We are in a war.

When I hear some Elite utter a despairing comment about the war, I cringe. We need to show hope about this war. Even if it looks bleak with all of the increased attacks, we need to ride this out with optimism. If, for you, the only way you can think this is by doing it for all the brave soldiers that have given their life for yours and so many others, so be it. By saying that there is no hope, that person is only denigrating all of the precious work that the troops do. Abraham Lincoln even said this way back on November 19, 1863 when he gave the Gettysburg Address:

"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."

Next time you think of denigrating our troop's efforts think of what it does to their moral every time they hear these negative remarks. Remember, we are in a war.

If you're not with us, you're against us
