Winning a War

I have been pondering the talk going around Washington lately about the "dire" situation represented in Iraq. Bombs killing folks, troops dying, and so forth. The Politicians, typical of their breed, are smelling the blood in the air and starting to say that the war is "unwinnable".

Dear limp-wristed, over-paid public servants - please read carefully how a real man views war:

Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bull****. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle...Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.

Of Course, this was from a speech given by George Patton to the Third Army. Whose at fault? We, the American people are. First, for not producing men like George Patton anymore who have the guts to fight our battles. We are intent on castrating our young men by putting girls on their baseball, football and hockey teams. We don't let them play dodgeball anymore because someone might get hurt and sue the school. And debate teams? We certainly can't let people take a stand on controversial issues that might "offend" others.

Secondly, we are at fault for voting people into office like the losers who question our ability to win. Do we question your patriotism? Of course we do. You are traitors, "Quislings", who care only about filling your own belly and getting re-elected. So what if our children and grandchildren will have to fight a strengthened Islamic world after we have sufficiently gutted our defenses and opened our borders to allow the enemy in to scout us out.

As a student of history, I see a very bleak future for our country unless God is merciful to us. In the Old Testament, God judged Israel for their sins by placing the weak into leadership during difficult times. That is exactly what we have today. "As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths". (Isaiah 3:12).

Is there hope? We as Americans need to repent and confess our sins to God and ask for mercy, and while we are at it ask for leaders who will truly lead. Here's more of Patton's speech, read it and see why we defeated the greatest military powers in the world on two separate fronts, while today we whimper and shy away from bozos who hide in the shadows and blow up women and children.

...My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either. We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b******, we're going to rip out their living G******** guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks.

That, my friends, is the attitude that will win a war.
