Seems like I am pounding the Israel war a little too much, But it is getting furious over there. There are now 30 Americans dead. The good news, I just heard a few minutes ago, is that the Hamas have released two American citizens. A mother and daughter from Chicago. Praise the Lord for that.

However, our military bases in Syria, and Iraq are being bomb with drones. One civilian killed. There is no doubt that Iran is behind this. We are able to stop most of the drones, but some are slipping through.

The are many stories about the military that have been forgotten, but I interviewed four WWII veterans for my new book, and they are amazing. Each one had a near death experience. They didn’t do anything heroic, but put their lives on the line.

President Biden has authorized the use of Cluster Bombs for Ukraine to use. They are deadly bombs. When they hit they spread out many small bombs to kill anything near them.

Is this a right thing to do? Actually they have been used in Iraq, and Afghanistan. There is nothing illegal about them unless they are used on civilians. These will be used to hit the trenches of the Russian front.
