We stopped fighting wars as they should be fought after WWII. We can’t even declare them.Everything since has been sacrifice to the political altar. B-52s alone could have won Vietnam. If not, we had no business thinking we could beat the Soviets in WWIII. Giap is seen as some great tactician, but we kicked his ass all over Vietnam but the POS perfume prince generals and spineless politicians made sure that we never make it look like we win anything. The “War on Terror” is a complete joke and the same old sacrifice blood and treasure to give it all back and refight for it all again.
When, and if, a people become too civilized to do what’s necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, as Western Civilization seems to have done, we simply won’t survive, as we don’t deserve to survive.
We, as a people, have failed to realize that survival of the fittest is still being contested here on the third planet, and when you, your family, and your people’s survival is threatened, the proper response in an uncivilized world is to eliminate that threat even if it requires killing every man, woman, and child of the enemy that threatens your survival.
Simply put: If you are too “Civilized” to do what’s necessary to survive in this uncivilized world, you don’t deserve to survive, and you won’t.
