The Gulf War was an early defining point for me as an American. I remember the day that ground operations were launched. We were in our local city hall for some function at the time when an announcement came from the front. "Folks, we just received word that the ground war has begun ." Everyone knew what it meant. There was a somber silence holding the room captive for a few seconds. Then, the man sitting across from me, an older guy from the neighborhood, clenched his fist and gritted his teeth ever so slightly, saying, "Give 'em hell."
It gives me goosebumps to this day.

(Are Marxist academics and apostate bishops trustworthy enough to tell you who the "real" Jesus is?)
