Staying in America and defending it is good, but it is important to remember three military sayings:
1) It is always better to protect than to defend.
2) A static defense is slow suicide.
3) Never willingly surrender any advantage to the enemy.
There is voluminous wisdom in these sayings, and each is worthy of pondering at length, as they give insight into many facets of conflict, be it peaceful and political, or violent and life or death.
1) It is always better to protect than to defend.
Shouldn't that be "attack," instead of "protect?"

I cannot improve on any of those 3 concepts.
I recall President Reagan kinda summarizing the above with the phrase “Peace through strength”
