Buddha saw an "army man" today and HAD to say Hi to him. So I let him. We've talked a lot lately about what the military is and what they do, and sadly, why we have to have them. So today he went up and said hi to the man, told him his name and asked if he drove a tank. The man said no, that he was some kind of tactical something or another, I forget. Then, before we left Buddha looked at him and said in the sincerest manner, "Thank you." While we walked away I wondered if he was just thanking him for talking to him or what... so I asked him why he thanked him and he told me it was because he is a good guy who keeps the bad guys away for us.
And I have to admit, I was a little awestruck when I thought about some members of our military who really devote themselves to a principal so taken for granted. Freedom is really worth it all.
Now to explain to Buddha why so many wars are fought over religion. Oh wait, I don't know how to explain that.
