We will not win any other wars because Western civilization has grown fat and developed ADD, and a desire to own stuff, retire, and think only of their immediate family's welfare, and cannot stomach the sacrifices it takes to fight wars they way they ought to be fought.
The true answer is NO
Amen...short attention spans will not win...
"We will not win any other wars because Western civilization has grown fat and developed ADD, and a desire to own stuff,"
Ghengis Khan was unstoppable in his day because his army fought as they lived, spartan and mobile, there was no difference between peace/war.
When his sons/grandsons settled in Russia and stopped their expansion they grew fat and happy in their rendition of palaces and lost the will to fight as Ghengis once did.
I totally reject this 'we will not win' mantra.
We have decimated alQaeda's leadership, with 60-70 percent killed or captured.
We have NOT had any US embassies, military installations, or homeland attacked in almost six years! (except Iraq, of course)
Despite the daily hair-pulling tantrums and doomsday mongers in the Democrap party and mainstream media, the world is in decent shape, with economies on the upsurge.
WHERE IS OUR DEFEAT??
I submit we are winning big time.
There will always be the dissatisfied thirdworld underclass, complainers all. The MSM LOVES to seek them out with the goal of making it look like THEY are reality.
The only reality I recognize is the might and power of the US military, the US economy, and the good heart of the US people.
Please, let's all get out of this defeatist mentality.
That's part of it. We've also been brainwashed for a couple of generations to surrender nationalism, accept the dictates of the UN, consider any real discussion of interest politics in bad taste and to put "the environment" (whatever the hell that means) ahead of national survival. I know this is true because my 40-year-old daughter told me so last evening. She informed me that anyone like me who believes in the literal meaning of the Constitution -- a "living document" that reflects changing times -- is a selfish bigot, a fascist, and a real menace to "enlightened" society.
