Your Enemy *All Enemies
Foreign And Domestic* ~THE ENEMY WITHIN~
Since 9/11 we have heard much brouhaha, BS, regarding our war on terror. WTH is a war on terror? In WW II--our last declared war, btw--we declared war on Germany and Japan. We did not just decalare war on Tojo, Hitler, the armies of Japan and Germany, etc. As one writer facetiously points out, we did not decalare war on "aviation" after the air attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
But back then we were not being strangled with political correctness, either. Our scrotum-less leaders do sometimes speak of our enemy by name, but always they preface this by placing adjectives in front of their name, e.g., "radical XXXXX," or "political XXXXX," etc. And back in WW II, we did not have to avoid at all cost "collateral damage" (a new PC phrase) to civilian populations.
Remember the famous "Doolittle Raid" on Tokyo early on in 1942--not to mention the final atomic targets of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945; and there were many more too numerous to mention. The point is, that many things have changed greatly with America and the American people since WW II days. PC, already mentioned, and then there is the enemy within--both elected and otherwise. Our public school system, the media, Hollywood, TV, etc. have all taken its toll on our thinking (or lack thereof).
When will we ever get back to doing things right again? First, determine who are enemy really is; then, name that enemy; then declare war on that enemy; and finally, destroy that enemy--destroy means totally, whatever it takes. Or, are we now too far down that road leading away from our once great Republic, and now closer to what they now tout as globalism, etc?
Are the great leaders of the past now extinct? The MacArthurs, the Pattons, the Pullers, the LeMays?
We better find out quickly!
