Killing
This is difficult to write after watching the Virginia Tech incident. What a wast of young minds.

Mentally Challenged
I wonder if there is a place in the middle between heaven and hell for those people who die violently by some one's hand?

Spirts? Ghosts? Who Really Knows!!
Mary,
As a Marine Recon Team we probably set 300 ambushes in the two years I was in Vietnam. I never am visited by any of the people we killed in ambush. It is only the people I killed after I was assigned to Phoenix. A program designed to eliminate people, of any age and gender that was playing the middle of the fence and got caught. In other words I was close enough to these people to see them take their last breath as I killed them. War? Absolutely. It became a way of life.

Even the church tells me that killing in a war is not murder; and so you are not held responsible in the eyes of God. When we were turned into assassins instead of fighting men, were we still OK in the eyes of God?

I really don't know. Certainly many ghosts in our pasts haunt us on a daily basis. Memories. Wishing you peace in your days. --Joy!Mary

Moving ON
Thank you for your comments. In the unit I served in we became part of operation Phoenix; if you are interested in such things. This operation was exhausting at the best, and mentally and physically challenging at the bottom of the ladder. We were trained for up close combat, and that is why I think theses people, 56 in all, are attached to me. Again thanks.

It seems to me that the deceased could find something better to do
with their afterlife. But, I have heard beliefs that some souls cannot move on or do not realize they should. There are people on Blogit who may be able to answer questions about that, believe it or not. Not me though
