Unless you are willing to be as unreasonable and as brutal as your enemy, do not engage him in a conflict -- because he will win. This old leatherneck says it better. 

 

 

Quote from a WWII veteran overhearing someone say that `You can't bomb an ideology.": 

"The hell you can't because we did it. These Muslims are no different than the [Imperial] Japanese. The Japs had their suicide bombers too. And we stopped them. What it takes is the resolve and will to use a level of brutality and violence that your generations can't stomach. And until you can, this <snip> won't stop. 

It took us on the beaches with bullets, clearing out caves with flame throwers, and men like LeMay burning down their cities, killing people by the tens of thousands. And then it took two atom bombs on top of it! Plus, we had to bomb the <snip> out of German cities to get them to quit fighting. But, if that was what it took to win, we were willing to do it. 

Until you are willing to do the same...well I hope you enjoy this <snip>, because it ain't going to stop! Back then, we had leadership, resolve, resources and determination. Today we're afraid to hurt people's feelings...and worry about which bathroom to pea in!

 

  

"Dear is my country, dearer is liberty; where is liberty, there is my country."  A quote from my 9th great-grandfather, William Claiborne, when he was 8 years of age. (1608)

Freedom is fragile. It is a gift from our Forefathers and can be lost in a generation.

~Ronald Reagan
