‘Brave Warrior’: Hear a Heartbroken Grandmother Tell CNN Why Her Fallen Navy SEAL Did Not Fear Death -

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Elite Navy SEALs member Aaron Carson Vaughn had asked the military to return him to combat and shipped out just six weeks before he was killed when a U.S. military helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan, killing 38, including 22 SEALs.

Vaughn’s grandmother, Geneva Vaughn of Union City, Tenn., told The Associated Press on Saturday that her grandson, a Tennessee native, had wanted to be a SEAL since he was a child and returned to combat just two weeks after his 2-month-old daughter was born this summer.

Geneva Vaughn says he was already a decorated fighter when he was asked by the Navy to return stateside to become an instructor. He chafed under the assignment and applied to SEAL Team 6. Military authorities notified the family of his death.

From CNN:
quote:
“As a brave warrior, Aaron was brave. But yet, he was a gentle man,” Geneva Carson Vaughn told CNN.

“He loved his family. He loved his country and he was willing to give his life to protect his family and protect his country. He was a great American.”

Her grandson, who turned 30 in June, was stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and had been in the service for about eight years, she said.

She recalled one of the last conversations she had with him.

“I told him to be careful and he said, ‘Granny, don’t worry about me.‘ He said ’I‘m not afraid because I know where I’m going if something happens to me.’ Aaron was a Christian and he stood firm in his faith,” she said, her voice heavy with emotion.

“He’s with the Lord now, and I’ll see him again some day.”

And he died for what? Do tell.

I fully believe the Jehovah's Witnesses are right in this respect: No Believer should participate in this government (or any government on earth now). Not vote, not fight, but be totally seperated out. Let them take whatever they want to confiscate for Caesar, from our paychecks, but depend on nothing from them, but the coming persecution.

Afghanistan: After the U.S. invaded and set up the new government there, their laws are still based upon Sharia Law, and any Afghani citizen who leaves Islam and converts to Christianity (or any other religion for that matter) can be executed.

So, why are Christians fighting and dying for that? Why indeed.

Iraq: The historical Assyrian Christian community, who still speak Aramean, the language/dialect related to Hebrew that Jesus spoke...are being exterminated, and all this AFTER the U.S. invaded and set up their "new" government with laws based upon Sharia Law, where Christians are considered infidels and dirty kuffar and pagans. The Christians were actually more protected under Saddam Hussain than they are today under the U.S.'s meddling. Estimates are that the entire Iraqi Christian population could be exterminated, sent into exile, in the near future.

Now, why are Christians fighting and dying for that? Why indeed.

Back "home" in the U.S.: Christianity is openly mocked, questioned, ridiculed and slandered. Christianity is banished from government and public schools, while another religion intolerant of Christianity is protected, promoted, defended. Christian bibles were confiscated in Afghanistan and burned like garbage, while the intolerant religion's book is protected, defended and called "holy" by our government. The current president of this government publicly declared "we are no longer a Christian nation":

Now, tell me, WHY are Christian fighting and dying for this?

Conservative Christians like to joke about how the Left has "drank the koolaide" with Obama...but Christians in this country need to wake up and smell the coffee themselves. Our sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters are dying for a nation that hates Christians, hates Christianity, and fights for those in other nations that KILL Christians.

Wake up!

Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

To protect our freedoms.
To defend the world from terrorism.
To rid a county of rule by tyrants.
Because they realize that duty, honor and courage are part of what defines them as Christian.
Because they realize that all people are connected, one to another, far beyond any religious affiliation.

Atheists, pagans, marxists, humanists, can all go fight, die, be maimed, etc., for the global corporate beast and its religion (which is NOT Christianity). Go. Send your daughter. Go sign up yourself. My posts are not directed at you.

God fearing, Bible-believing, Jesus worshipping Christians should not be fighting for this or any other appendage of this beast that has:

1. Been proven to experiment on us (in the past and most surely is now as well),

2. Have sold the interests of the Christian citizens to the highest bidders (special interests, corporate payoffs, Banking system, lobbyists, etc.),

3. Is allowing us to be fed genetically mutated unproven food, created by godless people with no doubt evil intentions, while destroying and limiting access to the foods that GOD HIMSELF designed, created, and gave to us, and

4. That is actively involved in murdering and eliminating Christians around the world, all while stealing our rights here at home, and openly favoring the intolerant religion and pushing it over us here at home.

5. THIS is the Beast of Revelation that is forming now, folks. His 'false prophet' was revealed first, the religion of the Beast, his nose was through the tent door first, now the hump is following, we can see him now.

If his mark is not already controlling your mind (on your forehead), or in your right hand (controlling your actions), you may yet be spared the fate that GOD HIMSELF has told us is coming on this world and the beastly world system/gov. that will actually draw its weapons against Christ when He returns, soon.

But, it is written: Many are called but few are chosen.

I do think you made some interesting points above. I'm not sure you would agree with where all of the things are coming from and those that are accepting them with open arms include mainstream religion.

"Friendship with the world is to be an enemy of God". The church in general has already received the "mark" you speak of . Can you get rid of it once deceived? I'd say not many will.

I'm pretty sure you aren't affected by the "points" I was talking about anyway. As she mentioned in the beginning, she wasn't addressing certain groups, I'm pretty sure I include some different groups as well. Also didn't say I agreed with everything in the post. You shouldn't be concerned about any of that stuff so "no worries" mate. Everything in your world is "right on track". Not saying you won't have to deal with some issues some day, just that your view of the world is 100% secular and that is completely acceptable for those that are 100% secular. For you, everything that matters is tangible. I'll not spend a lot of time trying to "save" anyone as smart as you from anything related to "spritual and intangible" issues as you are certainly smart enough to save yourself if needed, right?

If you noticed, I included mainstream religion and not just certain religions or rich corporate types or governments. The religious, corps. and govs. are all controlled by men. Outside the fact that you wouldn't include religions in with the Governments or Corporations, I see no difference in their function or motives.

Religion was an invention of the devil to keep as many as he could from finding God, He didn't have to invent anything for governments or corporations they have other gods.

We've been trained from birth to believe the U.S. is still what it may have been in the past, or what it was originally supposed to be. The reality is something quite different.

Eveyone loves their own home, the place they grew up and are familiar with. The slap in the face comes when you realize it doesn't belong to you anymore, and while you were busy tending to daily living, it was stolen right out from under you.

Then, when you take a good look at who the new owners are, it really wakes you up. Fighting for a long-lost past is not worth dying for. Look at how the new owners are running things, what their goals are, then decide if that is what you really want to put your life on the line for.

For most it won't matter anyway. For Christians, it should.

The number one defense given by politicians and leaders for doing what they are doing to this country and it's citizens is: "We are the United States, we can make it through anything" all the while they are working to steal , kill and destroy.
I agree, most people are conditioned from birth to believe that you should do nothing and that the US will still make it through. It is a lie that those that are destroying us as you read this know enough people will believe they can continue their destruction unimpeded.

As for true believers, it may be a trial or tribulation for a time, but it is temporary.

I think we should take a stand against evil. It isn't God's will for innocents to suffer and die at the hand of evil ones.

What if we as Americans hadn't taken a stand against evil such as we did in WWII, one can only imagine the innocent lives that were saved in spite of the great cost.

Evil always seeks to destroy the innocent, good always seeks to come to their rescue.

Evil will fight to protect a whale or dog while attacking anyone that tries to save the life of an innocent unborn human child.

If we live in silent agreement with evil, what will we have to say for ourselves on Judgment day?

No man-made government, no flag, no system, no concept, nothing should be made an idol that is more important that Christ the Lord.

If your idol is anti-Christ, against Christ, against Jesus, against Christians, against God, it's time to leave that idol behind.

No Christian should be in the military, signing contract of bondage that gives their will and their soul over to something that is now fully Antichrist. What you are bound to, you are the slave of.

As Jesus said, you cannot serve two masters.

And such an observation as the above is qualified by what experience?? Did some big bad bullies scare you on the way to your home economics class when you were in high school??? You should have clawed them and run to hide behind the home ec teacher's apron, that would've showed 'em!!

These evil doers either skerred the dickens out of you or just can't keep from whining about them.


I don't get scared anymore...been there, done that.

I have been to the mountaintop. I have faced my fears (wasn't my idea) but nonetheless i am at peace.
I always focus on my surroundings, if they change i adapt. Doesn't matter the language i am hearing, there is always a "tell". It is usually not what they say but how they say it.

And maybe i am not always correct but i am more correct then the people around me.
Like when the big, bad bully shark goes after the harbor seal. The lessor seals fail to survive.

Rupertsurvives can't say it any clearer than that.

I don't know you or anything about you, but your statement above reeks of inexperience and naieve arrogance. If you were 85 and on your deathbed, I'd take your words to heart. For now I regard them as wanton babbling. I suggest you keep those words so that you may learn from them at a later date.

“Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared”
