It has likewise always been our belief that the best defense against war is to run from it, no matter how far one may have to go.

But this is sadly not always possible, and war can appear in your Country, at your very doorstep, as suddenly as a summer storm.

For this eventuality, and as hard as it may seem, you must always be prepared for.  Not just for the survival of your own life, but for the survival of your family, your friends, your village and your Country.
 

In all of these lay the identity of whom you are as an individual, as a society and a Nation. 
 

And in finding war upon your Country has begun, it is your responsibility to not only be prepared, but to also act.

In the cruelest of wars you may find yourself having to defend against the Soldiers of your own Country who have been ordered to subjugate you, and to which also you must always be prepared to defend against.

There is nothing kind, generous or honorable in war.  It is an action that embodies the very worst attributes of what a human being is, and becomes for all who partake of it as close to hell on earth as it is possible for man to obtain.

Your time to prepare for war is never during when it is taking place, but before it ever begins.

For you to be effective in your survival of war you must become in mind, body and spirit; a Soldier. 

What the soldiers you will be facing know, you must know too. 

 

 

A Stunning Disclosure on Illegals in the Military

March 1, 2004

By Matthew Dodd

Every now and then, I read or hear something that just stops me dead in my tracks. Sometimes I break out in laughter, sometimes I scream out in anguish, and sometimes I break down and feel like crying.

On rare occasions, I find myself with all those reactions. On very rare occasions, those reactions are almost lost in a cacophony of a multitude of rapid-fire involuntary reactions that include pride, relief, anger, frustration, motivation, inspiration and blatant disbelief. An article in The Denver Post on Feb. 24 that the U.S. military does not know the citizenship status of 16,031 active-duty military personnel provided me with my latest "very rare occasion."

In a recent article ("The Illegal Immigration Threat," DefenseWatch, Jan. 14, 2004), I talked about a 19-year old illegal alien who used a bogus green card to enlist in the Army, and how the Army was going to help facilitate getting him citizen status. (The Army's efforts did result in that soldier being sworn in as a U.S. citizen.) Little did I know at the time that that soldier was literally just the latest tip on a monolithic iceberg.

Let me share with you excerpts from the Denver Post article and my varied reactions to them:

The Denver Post article reported:
"[T]he citizenship of 16,031 members of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines is listed as 'unknown.' That's about one in 100 active-duty military members who might be U.S. citizens, legal immigrants - or just about anybody else."
Reaction: I am stunned, completely dumbfounded. I do not know what is worse: the fact that we have so many "unknowns" serving, or that they are serving despite the fact that we apparently have reasonably accurate statistics about them.

Think about the logic trail for a moment. For each case, someone knew enough about the individual to decide that he or she was an "unknown," someone had to enter the "unknown" data into some sort of database, someone had to be responsible for gathering that data, someone had to need that data for some reason (or else why would we track the data in the first place?), so someone had to see these staggering "unknown" totals, yet nobody apparently cared enough about the potential threat of these "unknowns" in our post-9/11 world until the Denver Post reporter showed up and found out. Continuing:
"U.S. military officials say they are shoring up defenses against illegal immigrants and others who may misrepresent themselves and join the armed services."
