“Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and thoroughly immoral -- doctrine that 'violence never settles anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.”

It's ok to be mean to the people trying to kill you.

Most of this 'violence is not the answer' comes from idiots posturing their moral superiority. It's a nice veneer over their cowardice.

Let's not forget the enemy is using violence against us EVERY DAY. Cops are the constant threat of their violence. Laws are excuses for the enemy to get violent. Their militaries are built for them to express their violence.

We have been at war all our days; we just did not want to admit that fact.
