We did not descend from fearful men. All during the Cold War we became more controlled and less free. Without the protection of law, we lost our basic reason to exist. Slaves lose wars and we have lost three of them.
One day after Pearl Harbor 30,000 men enlisted. One day after 911 everyone was afraid of elevator and plane rides. The 1941 leadership dedicated the nation to fight the Fascist aggressors. The 2001 leadership cowed the people and dedicated our forces to be Fascist aggressors. They devoted their efforts to theft.
