The thing that surprised me most when I deployed was how Iraqi's and Americans, as a whole, really aren't all that different. We all want the same things. It's that way all over the world. Most people are just normal people. People that just want to live their lives. 1/2
Over the coming months you're going to be inundated with propaganda from "both sides" of the media, and from "alternative" media. Most of which is controlled opposition. Some of which are unwitting accomplices. This is all going to be designed to create hate. 2/3
Hate for your fellow Americans. Hate for your fellow humans. Don't let them make you hate people. You can hate ideas. You can hate ideologies. You can hate sin.

You can't hate the people doing that though.
(cont I'm done numbering as more is coming to me as I type)
The way you triumph over hate is by God's Peace. There is nothing out there like God's Peace. It is the greatest gift He can give you after salvation, and, it's also the one He most wants to give you. (more)
No matter what happens, we really can't change the overall trajectory. What is going to happen is going to happen, it's been planned for hundreds of years. It's going to be absolutely miserable. Holy Scripture tells us it's so bad time is sped up for the sake of the elect (cont)
The only thing that is going to get you through these times, and help you with whatever your future is going to hold, whether that be Holy Martyrdom, being in a camp, starving to death, whatever, is with God's Peace. Turn to Him now and away from man.
All politics is lost. Save your souls. It's the only thing that can be saved, and it's the only thing that needs to be saved. Don't ever let them take that from you. Don't ever let them win. Remember, God wins in the end. What side do you want to be on?
We win with Love. Love that's only possible through Christ, and through God's Peace. Pick up our crosses. Turn our backs on sin. Become Saints now. You can't be half a Saint, you can only be a whole one, or none at all.

Remember that no matter how humiliating they are to you.
Offer it up for the salvation of souls, specifically theirs. God is giving you immense gifts when He has you suffer in His name. Your cooperation saves souls.

Most importantly, forgive them, even if they don't ask for it.
