Once again, I read in your Sunday edition that the good old USA is flexing its military power off the coast of South Korea.

Now keep in mind, I am a U.S. military veteran myself and I am not anti anything except maybe anti stupid. Why in God’s name are we messing with these crazy people in North Korea? I believe we all know the North Korean general population are good people just like us but they are ruled by a military dictatorship.

The north Korean military are just sitting there waiting for a provocation of any kind. Messing with them is like messing with killer bees, your going to get stung or even stung to death. Unless your willing to wipe out the entire swarm why would you fool with them?

Our Constitution is based on truth, love and peace. Don’t start now by picking fights with a crazy military regime. President Madison told us long ago – do not meddle in foreign affairs. It’s the same principle as getting involved when you see a married couple fighting. You step in the middle of the fight and the man and woman beat the crap out of you. We have to stop being the world police and take care of our own mess here at home.

No one wins a war when the winner is not looking out for the best interest of the loser.

I thought all along, we were Christians.
