Sorry Sarge for my delay, been seeing some country and been gone for a while.
When I read your suggestion that the proverbial fight may be on within a year, I get a visceral reaction. Right in the gut. I hope we have longer
than that, but within a year wouldn't surprise me.
What many don't understand is that we don't always control the events around us. In fact, we don't really CONTROL diddly squat. Events occur, and
we must ensure that we are most prepared to react most flexibly.
I know what the fighting would entail. I know. Thus the visceral reaction that I get when I think about what appears to be forced upon us all.
To consider picking up a weapon again, either for offensive defense, or defensive offense, is to bring back the sounds, odors, noises, and pains
already known. The sheer sense of loss alone is a matter of dread.
For those who have experienced it multiple times in the past, any upcoming fight is nothing to embrace, rather, one must empty himself of all sense of
value and thus potential loss.
Only when empty can one perform the monstrous that fighting of the mortal kind requires. Only when I resigned myself to a certain death was I able to
throw myself into the task of the moment.
Many who post on threads like this belittle those who would fight, calling them armchair commando's and such. Yet it is those who are at least
willing to fight that raises the ante for the other side.
My daddy told me once that the most feared thing on earth - is a man who knows he's in the right - because he'll keep coming - and is a fierce and
terrible foe who will not be denied.
Patriots - will not be denied.
Patriots will not start this next mess. Patriots did not start whittling away at the Constitution. Patriots will not actually light the fire that is
to come.
But Patriots will come out of the woodwork, from the mountains, from the valleys, from the flatlands, from the badlands, and from every corner of the
nation once the battle has been joined.
The greatest mistake the British made was in threatening those in the mountains after they took control of the flatlands. Those boys came from far
and near, and never has a more fierce, determined group of men been united in one single purpose. The safety, security, and freedom of their loved
ones.
Sarge, I hope you're wrong. I hope we have more than a year.
Lest I have to resort to my old, sinful, disgusting, uncivilized ways. Would liked to have lived out my days in peace, but if I'm not allowed to,
then God help me. And may he have mercy on my enemies, because I sure as hell won't.
We'll have to stress patience, planning, thinking above all, and hope that we make fewer mistakes than our opponents.
Fortunately, the country is full of idiots, slugs, cattle, and retards.
That would increase the odds for a cool thinking, planning, rational man with skills.
Remember that one does not have to control every square mile of territory - only the bridges and key intersections. Think - weigh stations!
You will likely not be allowed past such roadblocks and you'll certainly not be able to take weapons past these points.
Think.
