"Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle...Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American." Gen. George S. Patton, somewhere in England, June 5, 1944.
The establishment has given up in Iraq, and ostensibly on the war against the Islamofasicts elsewhere.
If only Americans as a race could muster the courage displayed in centuries past. It is really surprising, the lack of historical context my fellow Americans have today.
I have pledged my blood and sacred honor in defence of this nation as have many of you who will read this. It sickens me to the core of my soul that we, as a nation apparently haven't the will to defeat a seventh century ideal. How our "leaders" lust for power overshadows the sanctity and security of this nation.
Yes, I am disheartened. I am heartsick. People are more concerned about sacrificing for a PS3, than their nation. We as a people don't display the type of courage, honor, duty and sacrifice which the words above hearken to.
My fear is that the only way for the political correctness, rampant secularism and other cultural moraise to disappear is for someone to pop a nuke on your favorite Anytown, USA. Of course by then it will too late for a few hundred thousand Americans (maybe millions?).
Don't mean to have such a downer at the beginning of the Christmas (praise Him) season, but there it is.
