Memorial Day belongs to the fallen. The men and women who didn’t come home, and the ones we asked to do impossible things in our name.
But we are failing them.
A majority of the veterans who fought in the War on Terror now describe that war as a mistake. Because for fifteen years they’ve been told from every direction that the war itself was fake.
When podcasters, politicians, and influencers call American wars “fake” or “foolish” or even “evil” to score cheap political points, they are telling our veterans this:
If the war you fought in was foolish, you were a fool to volunteer. If the war you fought in was wrong, you were wrong to fight. If the war you fought in was evil, then the things you did in it were evil.
It tears down not only the soldier, but the very idea that America is good and worth fighting for.
The West is in trouble —and not because of the War on Terror. The West is in trouble because we have forgotten why we fought it:

Iwo Jima veterans Billy Byrd (100) and Don Graves (101) flew to Washington, D.C., where they will serve as Honorary Grand Marshals for the National Memorial Day Parade. 🇺🇸
The first thing they did when they saw each other? Started talking trash.
Some things never change. 🤣
@CinemaShogun 2/2 the way she deflected from his answer tells me that she’s not a real Christian and only pretending. In any case, thanks @CinemaShogun for breaking this all down
@CinemaShogun As a Christian myself, I’m so happy that Victor Marx gave her a real Gospel presentation and asked her head on whether or not she believes in the inerrancy of the Bible. If you’re a Christian, you know that’s one of the core foundations of Christianity
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
@robbystarbuck To be fair though, the relationship between Achilles and the other guy is complicated enough to be interpreted as a gay relationship so it makes sense in that way and I don’t have a problem with it then
@JonnyRoot_ To be fair though, the relationship between Achilles and the other guy is complicated enough to the point where it’s interpreted as a gay relationship so having a transgender person play Achilles is sort of hinting at that
@CinemaShogun As someone mentioned previously, it’s definitely an honor to do it in Rome since it’s the heart of the RCC and it’s a pilgrimage destination.
And no, I don’t agree with her doing confirmation in Rome.
So this whole Noah’s Ark discovery… yah it’s not legit. If we could deal with reality for just a moment and suspend what a lot of people *want* to be true rather than what is true — pretty much everything about the facts coming out of this story are embroiled in sensationalism and non-credible archeology.
I believe there was a Noah and an Ark. But the formation in the Anatolian Mountains is almost certainly not the remains of that.
