Veteran day's reflection

http://www.uwestonline.com/laydharma//mod/forum/discuss.php?d=132
not sure what kind of response this will generate but I thought to bring "in" something "outside" of class discussion and give it a try

In light of Veteran day holiday today, I remember a news I read recently about that first Buddhist chaplain will soon be deployed to war zone

Aside from maybe the historical significance of having the first Buddhist chaplain in the military, many questioned if Buddhism is compatible with military service. You can see many comments on the page. There are more heated discussions on this issue through Tricucle’s Facebook page if you have a facebook account http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/tricyclemag?ref=nf

Thought to bring this up and see what you guys think
