Honorable Men

Warriors…In Their Own Words

We have always had warriors, from as far back in history as one can go — warriors are timeless.Warriors have a moral code and are not simply trained killers (as they are all too frequently portrayed).If we did not have warriors, we would undoubtedly be speaking another language, German,Japanese, Chinese, or Russian.Warriors are born, they are not created. Certainly they are trained, but to be a warrior is a calling.[...]With this documentary, photo exhibit and book our aim is to raise funding for and awareness of the men and women warriors that have given so much to protect our freedoms. Freedom is not free.

   Zee, whoever wrote this post really understands warriors. While I always appreciated those who risked their lives for the rest of us, I never really understood these guardians of our society until about a year ago when friends of mine visited from the States. He’s been in the army now for about 20 years. He heard that my 15-year-old nephew wanted to go into the army. My nephew was, on the night of a family barbeque that we all attended, washing dishes to earn money for a trip he was doing with the school to the Solomon Islands. My friend’s army husband, a really noble and decent man, walked over and pressed some money into my nephew’s hand and quietly told him that if he ever does get to Iraq, to look him up and that he would ‘look after him’. They then gave each other a manly hug and I saw something really unique and extraordinary between these two kindred spirits that I had never noticed before. There truly is a divine calling for these noble people in our society called warriors. They can recognize it in each other and they understand it. Amazing.

   So very true. I know there is nothing in me that could stand the test, that is for certain.

   And I think that is one reason Hollywood so tries so damn hard to demean them, portray them as indiscriminate killing machines. It is that unique spirit that frightens the hell out of the weak willed, castrated, metrosexual aberrations parading around as men today.

   Funny thing, when I was young, a warrior was the last thing you would have expected from me, now that I’m older I think I could well be one, if not being born to it wouldn’t disqualify me anyway. At the very least I can understand what makes them so. Whether I’d have been any good at it is another question.
   It does make you proud to belong to a country that can produce them and gives hope for the future of out civilization.

   Lig, I have no doubt you have the makings of a warrior, such is your spirit.
