Kel and I watched "In the Valley of Elah" last week. It was hard to watch, a sobering wake-up call to the cost of the troops after they get home from the war.
Or if you want a tally of what the war costs daily and what we could be spending that money on, take a look at this clip:

I am deeply troubled by the Iraq war and the innumerable side effects is has and will cause throughout the world. Every war sucks, but this one certainly hits home for our generation.
Any thoughts?

Hey Evan,
I must say war is not pretty. You asked us for our thoughts...well I think I have a unique perspective having been in special forces for 12 years and having lost a few really close friends in the war. I really don't think the media portrays an accurate picture of what is happening over there, or of the gravity of things prior to our being there. It is a bad situation no matter how you slice it...thankfully my hope is in the Lord's coming and restoration of things. Until then it is up to the government to uphold his wrath to those who commit evil (Rom. 13).
Blessings bro,
Gunnar
