Honor of Military does Not Depend on War’s Outcome:

Military Honor is bestowed upon All Those Who Serve, Enlisted or Draftee
Military Honor is bestowed upon All Those Who Serve with Honor

There is Honor in those who are In the Military and Obey Orders to Fight.
There is Honor in those Military who have returned from the Field of Battle and Refuse to Return. We must listen to the reason for their refusal, and decision to sacrifice their freedom for their reason.

The Honor-ability of the Individuals or the Military as a Whole is not related to the Policy Decision of the White House or the Senate.

The only Dishonor that can come of this moment in history will be born by those who manipulated information, took profits, and entered into a war with motives other than the protection of our country, or providing freedom for a population under persecution, duress, and oppression.

The Dishonor that can come from this point in history is if Policy Makers keep Military in place to perpetuate profits, and prejudices that will ultimately result in a more grievous blood letting if we had not intervened in the first place.

The Dishonor of War is only that conditions were not appropriately managed to prevent war.

The Dishonor of War is that IF it need be waged, it should be waged by the entire country a Draft Started after 30 days of conflict. The Pre-War Troops and Reserves are only the First Wave of Defense. IF there is NEED for a War it should be declared and a Draft Began Immediately. All should share in the burden of War if it is Necessary to go to war. IF this was the Law, WE may be slower at jumping into a war for reasons other than absolute necessity. This would be more Honorable.

We must remember all those who return to us after serving in War are Impacted from the Experience. This is the price paid as individuals and as a society. An Individual may act in way that do not being Honor to the individual. However, a decision to go to war or stay in a war is not a result of that Individual Soldiers action and does not taint the "Honor of the Military" if the Military does not support or order Dishonorable Conduct by individuals or as a Practice.

History will tell if the High Price Paid was well spent. Staying because we have spent lives, to honor those spent lives is the worst reason to stay a policy maker can provide. You don’t Honor the Dead and Injured by making more Dead and Injured.

Yes, when we have Military at War we should Remember Their Contribution and Sacrifice and support their Families left at home, and them upon their return, as if it were your child, spouse, grand child serving the Call to Duty.

War is Dishonor of God's Will.
When we let PEACE Fail we Fail GOD.
When there is a War Fight With The Goal of PEACE,
not Profit, not Oil, or Promotion of
One Religion or Government System or Economics as the cause of "Peace".
