“Peace” is that brief and wonderful time in history when everyone is busy reloading.

We’ve been fighting wars wrong ever since 1945. I’m not sure why. A proper war is fought with maximum death and destruction. There is nothing nice about it. Make the enemy regret ever bothering you. Make it hurt so bad that they remember for a few centuries.
Western simps ignore the fact that “Islam has bloody borders.” Those same cucks, simps and losers have also conveniently forgotten the 260 million slaughtered in the name of totalitarian collectivism in modern times.
As usual, Schlicter nails it.
War is the default state of mankind. Always has been.

When I was young (and naive) I thought most people were good and a lot of the humanist ideals that college professors like to indoctrinate you with sounded good to me.
Now that I’m older, I am much more cynical. I think there are three kinds of people. The good, the bad, and the ugly. (yes I know, I stole this from a movie title). The good are a minority. These are the people who will do the right thing even when tempted, and no one is looking. They will help someone who is down, or hurt, even if they are among the bad and the ugly. The bad live in a kind of truce with civilized society, and they conceal their dark side. The bad will be tempted, when they think they can get away with it, or when they have nothing to lose... and when the group has criminal intent, they join, with bells on. The bad are the majority, but they wont risk being bad and getting caught when they have their own life and possessions to lose. This is why the true purpose of courts and prisons is deterrence (not rehabilitation. There are no “corrections”). The ugly are the sociopaths. They don’t care about anyone but themselves, and their gears are always turning how to exploit people. They are pathological liars. The ugly cause problems and commit crimes both when they think they can get away with it and when they don’t. Their darkness often cannot be controlled, and when in positions of power they are usually enriching themselves at other’s expense, or worse, they are leaders of the bad.
This is the kind of articles I expect to see from Mr. Schlichter, not the drivel he’s produced lately. See my tagline.
100% spot on!
I have been saying the same since 9-11
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Schlicter is absolutely correct.
Yep. “Si vis pacem, parabellum.”
Yes, Hamas has to be wiped off the earth.
I like the term aesthetically displeasing actions. :)
Agree
Brilliant and to-the-point column by Colonel Schlichter.
Very well put. I might have to plagiarize this.. a bit
Even if our leaders refuse to be clear-eyed, you can be. Buy guns and ammunition.
Americans are doing this in record numbers.
We need to reform state militias, as the Federal government seems intent on betraying us.
Some people, on some occasions, act savagely. I accept that as a statistic not as an excuse.
This is when the reptilian brain overcomes the cortex
I would love to see “President Kurt Schlicter” some day…
