Exclamation Know Your Enemy

11-29-2022

“Over Six Decades Ago”, I vividly recall seeing a large poster that was prominently displayed upon the bulletin-board of “Company C, Ninth Battle Group, Third Brigade – at Fort Ord, California, that Said” (And I Quote) – “KNOW YOUR ENEMY!”

Well, a torrent of water has flowed over the ramparts of time since then, along with a plethora of vicious enemies and yet, here we are, a nation that habitually finds itself with no shortages of hostiles who seem intent upon our destruction – nothing ever really changes!?

So here we are again, “the mightiest of all world nations” and yet, we still seem unable to decisively (and finally) deal with countries that are but a fraction of our own size and prowess – and why is that, do you suppose?

Do we have an overabundance of patriotic blood and mortal ability to spill and are we so awesome that we can still afford to play games with technologically-inferior countries - in some fatal match of attrition or are we just ‘Hell Bent’ upon committing (eventual) national suicide!

“Back on 6 August and 9 August 1945”, we begged for no one’s permission to defend our national interest! Nowadays, however, it appears that we can’t even fart, unless we have an overwhelming world consensus and approval – even amidst violent threats and actions from Our Nation’s mortal enemies – once again, why is that exactly? Apparently, we have learned nothing at all from world history, including from the events of 12 April 1861, 7 December 1941 and 11 September 2001, just to mention a few?! “SPEAK SOFTLY, BUT CARRY A BIG STICK; YOU WILL GO FAR!” President Theodore Roosevelt, 2 September 1901
