In pursuing this uncompromising ideal, you will one day see it vanish forever through the haze of cameras mounted on helicopters leaving the green zone, as we've already seen over Saigon in 1975. The loss of American limbs and lives will only be more tragic as we wish we could have succeeded.

If our southern borders had been defended, if Islamic immigration had been curtailed, if we hadn't taken to calling it a religion of peace, and if we had let our troops fight unhindered by international laws that had no bearing on the protection of their enemies, things might have been different.

The American people have grown fatigued with the present policies. We cannot blame them. Many of them understand that the true war for America's security is at home, with the protection of America's own way of life, and its own families. The invasion from the south is more real to them than the threat of terrorism (although both are serious).

Then I do what I do for the future. Regardless of whose future it is, I hope to make it a brighter one by my actions today.

Your words remind me of Marx’s works.

Though not technically advocation of any ideal, your prophetic tonings can and will be used by those who wish to hold power. Even if not your words, somebody out there is bound to feel as you do, and be louder than you are here. And somebody else will use it against us.

But then, the internet is a massive, loud thing.

You want to help? Cut our bonds. Let us do what needs to be done. Withdraw today, and die tomorrow. Stay in now, slow the tide. Cut our bonds, let us do as we must.

I agree with your actual message, but your outlook draws you to a failure’s conclusion. Thus, prophetic as Marx.
