"They shall learn war no more" is stated twice in scripture, no doubt for emphasis:
Isa_2:4 And he will judge among the nations, and will rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Mic_4:3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
The price of freedom? Let me make one thing clear. I'm not a Republican or Democrat. I'm a freeman who refuses to support that snake with two heads. In my mind, as a believer in the WORD, which teaches SELF Government (The Kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU Luke 17-21) I don't NEED a leader outside of my Father, Yahweh. My point of view is quite a contrast to this post...
So please folks, do a bit more soul searching. Quit swallowing the swill that the military industrial complex and enemies of peace want you to believe. I respect Jim, but I'm convinced he hasn't really taken a close look at the other views and evidence.
As one of my commenters said, A pastor....
MEMORIAL DAY: Just another recruitment tool of today's political hacks at the behest of the International Bankers for their biblically egregious wars, thanks to U.S. Constitution:
"...The power to declare war is a serious responsibility. Why were the framers so vague in defining the parameters of war and the conditions under which it could be declared? Section 8, Clause 11 is the only place of significance where warfare is mentioned in the Constitution. Little wonder this power has been abused. Luther Martin [one of Maryland's delegates to the Constitutional Convention] protested: '…the congress have also a power given them to raise and support armies, without any limitation as to numbers, and without any restriction in time of peace. Thus, sir, this plan of government, instead of guarding against a standing army, that engine of arbitrary power, which has so often and so successfully been used for the subversion of freedom, has in its formation given it an express and constitutional sanction….'40....

I have to agree with Ted 99%. If I was God, I think I'd be considering the lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah II to go into effect.
I happen to have just finished reading "Flags of Our Fathers"! Great book, hits you right in the gut. Thank you for sharing this story. God bless our military.
Thanku for sharing the story of Iwo Jima. It breaks my heart to know the valor of the multitude of young men who never came home. This is the story of any and all war. God bless them, their families and all our military people serving today.
A beautiful reminder of what Memorial Day is. Many who served know exactly what James Bradley was talking about, and those of us who are Marines know that story well. Thank you and God bless all who serve and have served, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Beautifully written, all of it. My only issue is with your title. I'd love to believe the Demoncrats actually COULD care less, but the fact is, they could not. Thanks for this Memorial Day reminder.
The Democrats used to seem like the nicer of the two and seemed to wish to avoid war which is why I always voted Democrat when I would vote. This changed my mind when Obama became President. I voted for Trump 3 times now. The Democrats do not hide they are Marxist Communists anymore and this applies to every country of the West though they go by different names, red, blue, Liberal Democrats, or Labour. It wasn't that long ago Democrats identified as pro-life but not no more at least not vocally that is. Maybe they were infiltrated by the WEF.
Great post Jim

Very moving, sir. Thank you.
demorats do love a never ending war
Thanks for sharing this story Jim. We need to know how much it cost for us to be here.

What would Jesus do on Memorial Day? https://www.courageouslion.us/p/memorial-day-2025 And the latest I posted backs the idea of a MILITIA not a standing army... https://www.courageouslion.us/p/romans-13-and-the-right-to-bear-arms
So please folks, do a bit more soul searching. Quit swallowing the swill that the military industrial complex and enemies of peace want you to believe. I respect Jim, but I'm convinced he hasn't really taken a close look at the other views and evidence.

Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏾
Happy to have seen the iconic statue up close on a visit to DC, plus WWII and Vietnam Memorials and Arlington Cemetery. 🇺🇲

Democrats aren’t interested in freedom or liberty.
Powerful!
The Democrats used to seem like the nicer of the two and seemed to wish to avoid war which is why I always voted Democrat when I would vote. This changed my mind when Obama became President.

The Democrats do not hide they are Marxist Communists anymore and this applies to every country of the West though they go by different names, red, blue, Liberal Democrats, or Labour.

It also goes for this country, not just the others in the west...https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
Thank you for this amazing post! I will be sharing it with those who love this country and honor those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
