courage to resist

Welcome Home, Soldier: Now Shut Up By Paul Rockwell

"Moral courage is harder. It requires the bearer to walk away from the warm embrace of comradeship and denounce the myth of war as a fraud, to name it as an enterprise of death and immorality, to condemn himself, and those around him, as killers. It requires the bearer to become an outcast. There are times when taking a moral stance, perhaps the highest form of patriotism, means facing down the community, even the nation.”

" . . . only the truth can heal."

Excellent writing. -- Betsy
