You and I know that the military we have today is the smartest and most well-educated military in the world -- and the best, too. Still, don't downplay your role or your calling. You put your life on the line, not only in the military but the police as well. We owe a debt to all of our uniformed who stand in the gap for us. A better way of saying it might be this: John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." (NASB) Mike, my friend.

Not read about it the paper or watch it on TV the next day, but live it and, therefore, understand it firsthand. That philosophy served me well in those days and continues to do so today. If that makes me too stupid for anything else, I can live with that. I volunteered for the military and an elite unit because I wanted to see for myself.
