Freedom: the Cause of War

An Essay By: Esther A. Lovato

   Many wars of our day have concluded the fight for freedom.  The lives of many have been spent in these perilous times of unrest for the purpose of “One nation under God with liberty and justice for all.”  1.       1900-1917:  The U.S- A  world power  2.       1914-1918:  World War I  3.       1939-1945:  World War II 4.       1950-1953:  The Korean War  5.       1965-1973:  The Vietnam War  6.       1990-1991:  Operation Desert Storm7.       2003- Present:  Operation Iraqi Freedom  Many wars have been fought in the past, in present times and I am sure according to the Word of God that many wars will come in the future.  The revelations of  these  Wars that  our  military  have  fought are to  give  freedom  not  only  to  our  homeland  the  USA,  but  to  any  country  in  need  of  defense  when  the cry for  help rings out.  . In 1900, the U.S becomes a world power.  At  the  dawn  of  the 20th century,  America  had  emerged  on  the  world  scene.  Her  victory over Spain in the  Spanish-American  War of 1898  had  shown other  world  powers that the United States  was a force not to be overlooked, especially in the Western  Hemisphere.  The  victory  had  also  provided  an  instant  empire  with  possessions  as  far  away  as  the  Philippines bringing America success and recognition.  World War I unveils in 1914, which set the world aflame. The cause, many people asked, was a safe democracy for America.  World War I ends in 1918 proceeded with the beginning of World War II in 1939.  America  is  concerned  about  Britain  standing  alone  against  the  Nazi  aggression.  America joins Britain to defeat Germany while Japan stands  alone, defiantly and  the  first  use  of  the  Atomic  Bomb  brings  Japan  to  its  knees.  World War II comes to an end.  The year is 1950 the start of the Korean War is at hand.  The  world  had  emerged  from  World  War  II  and  America  sought after  peace for its nation.  It rapidly demobilizes its troops. The  United  States  possessed  the  Atomic  Bomb,  making  war  a  thing  of  the  past.  That  is until  the  North  Korean  Army  streamed  across  the  border  to  conquer  its  neighbor  to  the  south.  America  and  the  United  Nations  respond  rapidly  to  this  challenge  but  the  lack  of  preparedness  costs  many  lives.  The  situation  was  stabilized  and  following  a   brilliant  offensive,  the  communist  armies  were  thrown  back  only  to surge  forward  again  with  Chinese  support  (1953) this was the end of war for awhile.  The Vietnam  War 1965,  the  American  army  advisors  became  involved  in  the  guerilla  war  and  the  fall of South Vietnam  to  the  north  Vietnam ends this war in 1973.   Operation Desert Storm 1990, there was aggression in the form of a new name: Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.  Operation  Desert  Shield begins and coalition  forces  are  built  up  to  oppose  further violent Iraqi  moves  into  the  Gulf  region.  With  initial  strikes  against  the  Iraqi  military  and  a  final  victory  brings down Iraq  in  Operation  Desert  Storm.  And  now  a new  war  is  started  in  2003,  Operation  Iraqi  Freedom.  Our  military  went  overseas   not  only  to  avenge  the  thousands  of  people  that  died  in  the  Twin  Towers, the Pentagon and the people in the planes that crashed, but to bring Bin Laden, the terrorist to justice, and later to free the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein.  A large number of people here in the USA did not comprehend why our military went overseas.People were making  protests  against  the  President for his decision.  These people did not show their gratitude and support to the men and women who fearlessly fought for this freedom.  These protestors never took into consideration that these who were fighting for freedom fought for the Freedom of Speech they were so freely exercising against our President and our military.   Our military has played a key part in keeping the USA safe and unworried about freedom.  God  has  been there through the fight.  Let us show our thankfulness to these brave soldiers and may God continue to bless our President, our military and the USA!
