The United States Marine Corps is said to be one of the most difficult military branches in the world, supposedly the most difficult in the great United States of America. I can believe that.
The other day I got some literature from them in the mail, and as I looked through it, something struck me. As I was reading it, each page had a title/saying at the top. The first page impacted me the most.
At the top of that first page, it said "Greater Cause Requires Greater Character." How true is that? I mean just think about it. To be a United States Marine is a great cause, a great calling.
I believe that anyone who decides to be a member of the U.S. Military deserves our support. Whether they are in the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Army, Coast Guard, or Navy; They deserve our support.
These men and women take part in a great cause because they have great character. These men and women are putting their lives at risk to defend yours and mine. It is men and women like them whom this nation should be proud of. These men and women are actually taking a stand and taking action on behalf of what they believe in and are passionate about: America, Land of the Free. Someday I hope to join them.
Since these men and women are putting their lives on the line for us, don't you think that we should be supporting them in anything and everything they do? Support them by praying for them. Support them by flying an American flag. Support them by writing them. Take an active role people! Our founding fathers demanded that of us! Take a stand and do not be afraid. Take a stand for this country, as the service men and women have. Take a stand and witness what unfolds...

"don't you think that we should be supporting them in anything and everything they do?" Even if I were not a pacifist I would hope that my answer to that question would be no. We should never blindly follow anyone or anything especially a military.
