America is on the down fall.

I have a friend who is in the military. He increasingly chatters on and on about power and authority incessantly. I read not many months ago that one of the questions that soldiers are being asked during promotion interviews is whether they could kill their friends and/or relatives if ordered to do so.

the most important things in military structure is authority and power, as long as the military is stronger than the people the government will stay in power if they placate the army. the power of the army backs the authority of the government. it seems that there may be a coming disagreement in America between the government and military over iraq.

i am struck by my study of the bible's end time teachings or eschatology and not being able to see any sign of America there. The final war prophesied of in the bible has israel standing alone against china, russia, egypt and other countries.
