I disagree that pansies are “good guys” and I think real men are the good guys.
But they have to be a “good guy” who understands that lasting peace depends on beating your opponent into capitulation, utter defeat and unconditional surrender. There is no such thing as proportionate response and negotiated peace in order to achieve real peace. It is brutal and ugly, but in the long run, complete victory by a peaceful, moral nation saves lives and is the most compassionate course in the long run.
