Service is a Sacred Honor

Serving in the military fosters a deep sense of privilege, unity, and familial bonds, driven by trust and mutual sacrifice. Soldiers often see each other as family, sharing a commitment that transcends the battlefield. The Gulf War epitomized a just cause, responding to unwarranted aggression, while the motivations behind subsequent conflicts, such as the Iraq War, reflect the complexities of defining enemies and justifying military action. The aftermath of 9/11 underscored the urgency and gravity of national defense, further complicating perceptions of justice and strategy in warfare.
