To hunt in a swamp you have to know the swamp. That means you have been there, gotten your feet muddy, been fired because you were too conservative, been hired because you were a conservative, been fired because you were a Republican.
If that pedigree makes you a swamp creature fine. It takes a swamp creature to know how to kill a swamp creature.
But it sounds like you’ve never hunted.
Arm chair warriors have little value on the battlefield.
