Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

I defy you to find justice, compassion, or forgiveness in nature or the universe. These are creation's of man, existing solely in the mind of man. 'Might makes right' is not the product of a cold mind, it is the product of a mind which chooses not to daydream it's way through life, but rather to fight so that others can.
