Three thinking questions

This weeks assignment is to right three thinking questions and answer them. These are the three I did.
  1. When reading a book that contains many different war scenes, such as Black Hearts, how does it influence your thoughts or knowledge of war? 
         From what I have read so far, these book changes my whole outlook on war. Today's war is far
         more complex than any history book, movie, or news article ever describes.

2. While reading this book are you still able to see any value in sending our brave family                   members  friends, and neighbors, also know as soldiers to a war like this one?

Yes, even after reading about these events, the is still a value to sending our brave men and women overseas. There are the obvious ones such as, fighting for all sorts of freedoms, speech,religion, press,.... Without these freedoms we wouldn't be America land of the free, we would just be America.

3.  After reading part of this book, what do you think would give anyone the drive to enlist for the military?

I think they will always be people willing to give their service , and their life for their country. To be a part of the United States army is a huge honor, and to be able to stand literally between the enemy and your family as part of the country's first defense is an incredible privilege. God has our time and place set for when it is our turn to leave this world and go to heaven, so if the fear of death would keep a person from serving their country in this way, well they have no control over it anyway. I think these are just a few of the reasons that many people have the drive to enlist and serve in the U.S. military. I know these are a few of the reasons I have the drive to enlist and serve my country, my family, and most importantly my Lord, by putting my trust in him and hopefully leading others to do the same.

I read two hours this week.
Total time 8 hours and 15 minutes
