What does it mean 

when the Secretary

of Defense proclaims

“It takes money to kill 

bad guys.” Think about 

that. Think about that.

Billions of dollars to 

murder human beings,

sons, daughters, mothers,

fathers, sisters, brothers,

grandparents, friends.

Billions that could be

used to help survivors 

of tornadoes, of floods,

of hurricanes, people who

are hungry, people who

need medical attention,

schools that are falling

apart, the homeless.

“It takes money to kill

bad guys.” Think about

that. Think hard.

What about the greatest

commandment? What

about compassion?

What about kindness?

What about the belief

that each human being

is sacred? Consider that.
