JAMAICA TO OKINAWA | 39<br />
activity. Cold War ended, so intel lapsed and for<br />
many years Soviets were a big threat. After <strong>the</strong><br />
wall came down, and no more threats. We became<br />
lax and <strong>the</strong>n 9-11 hit so <strong>the</strong> intelligence<br />
for mass weapons was not as good as it used<br />
to be. When <strong>the</strong> government was downsizing,<br />
I think it was a wrong move to pull out of <strong>the</strong><br />
area. Needed to leave a battalion or presence or<br />
buffer to watch over hot zone. Pulling out was<br />
not right thing and now we have ISIS. It is slap<br />
in face to Veterans that survived and those who<br />
died in Iraq. We need to be aggressive and offensive<br />
with ISIS and take battle to <strong>the</strong>m. We cannot<br />
wait for ano<strong>the</strong>r 9-11.<br />
Is America worth fighting for?<br />
America is worth fighting and dying for. It has<br />
helped so many people find purpose, achieve<br />
goals, liberty. Place for people to find freedom.<br />
We as Americans need to do it toge<strong>the</strong>r. In WWII<br />
started we did it toge<strong>the</strong>r. In Iraq was one force<br />
and made us victorious. We need to do it toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
We need God in our purpose. I disagree with<br />
Air Force taking God out of <strong>the</strong> oath.<br />
Is <strong>the</strong>re a transition <strong>from</strong> being Jamaican<br />
with a history of slavery to delivering people<br />
<strong>from</strong> spiritual slavery in America?<br />
We came to Jamaica as slaves by Spanish and<br />
eventually Britain gave us freedom. We see our<br />
islands as free with less restrictions<br />
than America. We had<br />
goats, pigs, chickens and a garden<br />
in our backyard and we<br />
never felt lack. We thought we<br />
were rich. I didn’t see any transition<br />
problems immigrating to<br />
America.<br />
The British education system is<br />
more advanced. We have a better<br />
education in math and science<br />
than American children.<br />
We have one of <strong>the</strong> best education<br />
systems in World because<br />
of <strong>the</strong> British. I have always<br />
been interested in ministry. I<br />
was baptized at age 12. It is not<br />
just preaching and teaching and<br />
I’ve always known I would be in<br />
ministry.<br />
The biggest challenge as a minister<br />
in America is ego, edging<br />
out God. There are so many<br />
broken churches because of<br />
ego. The biggest problem is we<br />
are all going to heaven so why<br />
do we judge o<strong>the</strong>r churches instead<br />
of working toge<strong>the</strong>r? ◊<br />
