Adm. Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently testified in front of congress. He made one of the most brilliant statements to ever come from a military leader and I just had to share it:
We cannot kill our way to victory.
I would just like to point out that I follow a man who said this centuries ago. In fact, he redefined victory entirely. Refusing to participate in the perpetual struggles for power in which nation-states have been participating since the dawn of time, he revealed a new power: a power which suffered and bled and forgave out of love.
I commend you Admiral Mullen. I think Jesus would tell you that you are not far from the kingdom of God.
