This is not a war we want to lose.

Our side, needs to wake up quickly, and stop fucking around
Nuke'em till they glow and shoot'em after dark, that's what we used to say back when I was serving and full of piss and vinegar. Now, I'm a lot older, maybe a little bit wiser, and I realize this - if I think that same way, I end up stomping on loved ones too. Family (we can't pick our family) that I care about, despite their F-'d up views.

So, while I know I won't hesitate to do what is necessary to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of American against all enemies, foreign and domestic, the ROE isn't defined, as someone said before, we are intermixed across the nation, and there are real family and people we love who are misguided.

To me, the EASY button is "F'em" or "Stomp them out" The harder path, is to try, and try again to change "hearts and minds". Believe me, if the time comes (and I pray to God it NEVER does), you'll have wanted to have spent the time I'm talking about - we all talk tough, but living with regret and resentment ain't living...
