It's funny how perceptions change. I remember when these guys were our most hated enemy.

It's funny how perceptions change. I remember when these guys were our most hated enemy.

He who controls the discourse controls the perception. That's not a direct quote, but it is close enough to Alinsky's advice in Rules for Radicals.

Then I remembered something I’d read that Teddy Roosevelt had said: “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena…who strives…who spends himself…and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat

Very good commercial. The Ukrainian army is what the Founding Fathers envisioned the American military to be. An army made up of Citizen-Soldiers.

The Founders were scared of a professional standing army because they thought it would be a threat to the young republic.

Now fast forward to 2022. Putin invaded Ukraine because DC and NATO encroached on Russia.

So Ukrainian Citizens had no choice but to gear up.

All soldiers around the world regardless of flag they fight for are brothers and sisters. The problem is gubmints are full of psychotic scumbags addicted to warfare. Mercah is no different.
