Somewhere, a War Leader is Walking
We all know where this is heading. We're in a world-wide, full-blown clash of civilizations that is about to go decidedly nuclear at a time when the West is not only suffering from a lack of confidence, but has a significant portion of its population who believe in their bones that it deserves to lose.
There can only be one outcome in such a state of affairs: eventually, those of us who wish not only for survival but to prevail and to preserve what is ours and has been gifted to us by countless generations will have to decide to do whatever it takes to ensure that survival. And I'm not entirely unconvinced that such a struggle will not have a domestic component.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have an answer to our predictament or even a suggested course of action.
But, in my heart of hearts, I know that somewhere out there, walking around even as I type this, is a war leader, this generation's Patton. I don't know who he is or even if he is a he. But s/he is there.
