influences only to get himself a place near the flashing of the guns."

TO LUCASTA, GOING TO THE WARS

Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly.

True, a new mistress now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.

Yet this inconstancy is such
As thou too shalt adore;
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not Honour more.

Richard Lovelace. 1618�1658

Are there any conditions that will control our honor-- keep it holy-- even in war?

Answer: Yes, and here it is:

Proverbs 22:4 (KJV) By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
