Military’s highest and best use
Permalink +Thu, Jan 06, 2005, 5:03 pm // Site Management
Let's not criticize George Bush for being slow to respond to the tsunami disaster. Unless you will also hammer UN Secretary Kofi Annan for spending three more days at the Jackson Hole ski resort after the tsunami.Let's give. Let's help the kids. Let's help all those people. By all of us giving, we will show our representatives and government that we want them to also keep the government's effort focused on helping. I've read reports of some not wanting to help Muslims, or that maybe if we give it will help our image in the world. Such remarks indicate a warped and degraded sense of humanity. We should give because they need help and because we can.
When this is over, I'll bet that our military people who are participating in this aid effort will be telling us it was the best experience of their careers. Using the military for aid relief is the highest and best use for them.
