I had no idea who General Chong is or the source of these thoughts... so when I received them, I almost deleted them - as well-written as they are. But then I did a "Google search" on the General and found him to be a retired Air Force Surgeon of all things and past Commander of Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio. So he is real, is connected to Veterans affairs, and these are his thoughts. They are worth reading and thinking about!! (the same Google search will direct you to some of his other thought-provoking writings.)

He reiterates the real problem exactly as it is...of course the radical libs will say he is nuts -- there is no terrorist threat and that 9/11 was staged....etc,etc,etc.

Food for thought for the "Throw the Republicans out, that'll teach 'em!" fair-weather Republicans around here. Play games with who is in charge of this country's security at your peril.

This is one of the best explanations and justifications on our WOT. I have seen a number of his points explained by several people in several places but this is really good.
Why don't we see guys like this on the 24/7 talk shows or read in the MSM? I don't ever remember seeing/hearing General Chong on FOX. All we get from everyone is the SOS.

Serious threat? Maybe when the author tells us we are going to draft some 15,000,000 people, ration gas, sell War Bonds and Rosie the Riveter is going to work in the war production factories.

Excellent post. Paradoxically, one strength of this enemy is that everyone assumes them to be weak. Yes, they are weak in the weapons of war, but are not hobbled by political correctness as we are. The conventional wisdom is that we will win the GWOT. Unforunately, the conventional wisdom is often wrong.

Still a good post.

Perhaps it's nitpicking but the statement:
"Hitler (who was also Christian)"
seems very doubtful to me. One could call Engels Christian, or Marx Jewish, but both were atheists. Family origin or early upbringing are very poor guides on faith in the 20th century. I very much doubt that Hitler was a sincere Christian.

When someone declares that they are at war with you, it's
too late to be diplomatic.

He is partially right, our major problem is that the nation
doesn't recognize that there is a war on, a few of us to be sure have seen it over time and it comes as no surprise to us but at least half of America won't or can't admit it to
themselves, and of course there is a large percentage that
are just oblivious to anything beyond themselves.

We, WE will have to make up for the ignorance and blind
wishful thinking of all those, we must prepare for what is
coming and we MUST DO IT FASTER! Events are breaking with
increasing frequency, WE MUST LEAD AND BE READY TO LEAD when
the situation demands it.

The lesson of France has been learned by the anarchist youth
of our own country, one has only to watch the news to be
aware of it, we can look forward to more of the same.

We suffer now from illegal immigration, look at Germany
and France and see how the "Guest Worker" is destroying
the demographics of Europe.
We don't want or need "Guest Workers" we want people who
WANT to BE AMERICANS.

It's time we closed our southern border, either that or make Mexico a state and run it under our constitution.
