With the 5th column of today's press, not likely.

People have no concept of what war is, what it is suppposed to be. As Rush says, "The purpose of war is to kill people and break things."

The consensus today seems to be it should be run like a sports event. I specifially remember articles that criticized us for attacking towns because it "wasn't fair".

Americans fully understand the concept of war and Americans can kill people and break things on an unbelievable scale, but somewhere along the way to war we forgot America cannot win if America fails to do just as Rush said. It would be of tremendous help if Congress would declare war. At this moment we aren't on 'war footing' in this nation and Congress must be blamed for not placing the nation on war footing. We can win, but we have to have a declaration of war to do what has to be done, and Congress refuses to grant our military the ability to win by refusing to declare war. It was true of the last Congress and it will be true of the coming Congress. IMHO

Rush is wrong, and so are you. The method of war is certainly to do that.

But it would be the pinnacle of evil to believe that killing and breaking was the only purpose of war.
