With God on Our Side
Peacekeeping operations, peacekeeper missile, strategic deterrent: lies sounding truthful.
You shall not take the name of peace in vain.
Collateral damage, non-combatant casualties, preventive war: you shall not murder.
(For you don't count the dead when God's on your side)
Intervention, special military operation, surgical strike, boots on the ground: murder made respectable.
(And accept it all bravely with God on my side)
Enhanced interrogation techniques, friendly fire, conflict: the lesser of two evils.
(And you never ask questions when God's on your side)
Stabilization efforts, conflict management, democratic transition: often used to make reality more palatable.
If you want peace prepare for war.
Holy war.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (With guns in their hands and God on their side)
De-escalation, ceasefire, diplomatic solution, commitment to peace: bring hope to the people.
Ministry of Defense.
(if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war)
