The idea you keep to discussion, not war

Good morning,
How far are you willing to go to defend your life style or it it your home? If a man came 2000 miles to blow up a building to defend their life style then they live someplace other than our democracy. All we can defend is our home, our country is defended my the United States Department of Defense. I can assume that you can defend your wife or son/daughter but not an idea you think is wrong. The idea you keep to discussion, not war.

When we ended the draft the United States Department of Defense decided only to accept the very best men and women in physical ability and aptitude. They provide grants to universities to create games that would teach children to fly, operate tanks and be extremely dexterous with joy sticks, knobs and buttons.
In the year 2000 the military's dream had come true. the army had the most intelligent pilots, tank operators and drone operators who could run a mile and not lose any ability to perform well.
Well the war in Iraq pretty well left all those brilliant minds dead or without limb. So please do not ask me not to say that when you elect an idiot .......
March 2003:
Has our mother asked us to change our minds?
Our rug was pulled out from under us September 11, 2001.
We were so angry that we let the Attorney General of the United States have a full run at the terrorists.
We provided him with an arsenal of weapons that wiped out our civil freedoms for a time.
We have let him poke into our affairs just to catch the evil that destroyed our families September 11, 2001.
Now the Attorney General of the United States wants more power.
The President of the United States wants more power.
Are the Supreme Court and Congress going to give them that power?
Where is the voice of the people of the United States?
I am afraid to ask that question?
We have isolated ourselves; we have placed ourselves in the middle of an island.
We have yelled at all our friends.
We have rode our "devil may care" attitude into town like John Wayne and told the world to go to hell.
Has our mother asked us to change our minds?
***
Our nation has gone to sleep. 
Like sleeping beauty we have bitten the apple and laid down like 
Rip Van Winkle.

One young man who learned to kill went on a rampage and killed anyone he could see in a grammar school a few weeks ago.
On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza, age 20, fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members and wounded two at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the Sandy Hook village of Newtown, Connecticut.
