"The Western man today has no stomach for a fight," Abbasi says. "This phenomenon is not new: All empires produce this type of man, the self-centered, materialist, and risk-averse man."

It might appear so in the MSM and much of the so-called "entertainment" on the tube here. It is a pity men will die to prove those tired stereotypes for the BS they are, but let them think we are weenies and "shock and awe" will take on new meaning.
