Render to Caesar that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. (Matthew 22:21 [KJV])
Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. (Romans 13:1 [KJV])
I did not save the war, nor did I contribute to its result, but I did go home with everything I took over there, except innocence.
My primary motivation to write this book was Richard Snook, with whom I grew up with, and we were very close. We were going to join the Army and go off to war together as young boys, as we were. He was eleven when he took his own life, and I was twelve. I never got over it and still cry about all that. I have never talked or written about my past life as a young person going to war, and now my present life is coming to an end. I should say something about that time when I was young and naive and went to war.
Refer to the song by Peter, Paul, and Mary: "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (1967).
Refer to the Australian song by John Schumann: "I Was Only 19" (2006).
As in all things past, throughout our lives, like wars, we should not relive them nor forget them, lest we repeat them.
