The Will to win

Unless you are willing to be as unreasonable and as brutal, as your
enemy, do not engage him in a conflict -- because he will win.

This old leatherneck says it better .....
Quote from a WWII veteran overhearing someone say that `You can't bomb
an ideology.
"The hell you can't, because we did it. These Muslims are no different
than the [Imperial] Japanese. The Japs had
 their suicide bombers too. And we stopped them.  What it takes is the
resolve and will to use a level of brutality
 and violence that your generations can't stomach. And until you can,
this shit won't stop.
It took us on the beaches with bullets, clearing out caves with flame
throwers, and men like Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay burning down their
cities, killing people by the tens of thousands. And then it took 2
atom bombs on top of it.  Plus we had to bomb the shit out of German
cities to get them to quit fighting.

But, if that was what it took to win, we were willing to do it. Until
you are willing to do the same...Well, I hope you enjoy this shit,
because it ain't going to stop!"

Back then, we had leadership, resolve, resources and determination.
Today, we're afraid to hurt people's feelings....and worry about which
bathroom to piss in!!!

Paul, 

I am so disgusted with me. I had a message in reply; however, I inadvertently 
deleted the entire message which probably took me half an hour.  ðŸ¤” I don't 
remember how. 

Anyway, my older half-brother, Ted Dunham had me lifting sash weights when 
I was 10 or 12.  I came to think I was the toughest kid my age in the world.  Not 
too long afterwards, I became a Christian.  I never wanted to hurt any thing or anyone,
as Christians shouldn't, of course.  However, conflicts presented this kid (me) and I
was in situations to fight.  

I recall always being nervous to the point of shaking but, of course, I didn't want
my opponent to realize I had fear.  After the first couple of hits, I guess I decided I 
had better win and did while very young.  

In my "Excellence in Athletics in the Portsmouth Area" book (Ohio), much later, I interviewed 
Mark Frazie then a retired amateur Champion boxer (3 times tri-state Champ in
Huntington, WVa).The Minford gentleman went on to win 30 of 36 professional fights 
around the country.  

Mark told me that he had around an eighty per cent knockout record.  "I had a killer 
instinct. I wasn't a bad person, I just wanted to win."

God knows what many non-believers repeatedly point out that the Bible has many 
stories of war, many due to 'religion'.  

I admittedly even now use too many four letter words (never intending God's defamation in any 
of them, in quick anger too often; however the only thing I disagree with is the author's 
use of so many four letter. words in your "Winning in Today's World" message above.

Terroristic leftists are among us in the USA and we must decide to win because they 
are unreasonable and brutal.  They don't want Donald Trump to win, but we 
conservatives must decide to help Mr. Trump, the courageous one, win!

Eating in the fifties ... Thx Judi C!

I know, you're all too young to remember these things!!
 
EATING IN THE FIFTIES 
 
Pasta had not been invented. It was macaroni or spaghetti. 
 
Curry was a surname. 
 
A take-away was a mathematical problem. 
 
Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time. 
 
All chips were plain. 
 
Oil was for lubricating, fat was for cooking. 
 
Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves and never green. 
 
Cubed sugar was regarded as posh. 
 
Chickens didn't have fingers in those days. 
 
None of us had ever heard of yogurt. 
 
Healthy food consisted of anything edible. 
 
Cooking outside was called camping. 
 
Seaweed was not a recognized food. 
 
'Kebab' was not even a word, never mind a food. 
 
Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being white gold. 
 
Prunes were medicinal. 
 
Surprisingly, muesli was readily available. It was called cattle feed. 
 
Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of a real one. 
 
Water came out of the tap. If someone had suggested bottling it and charging more than gasoline for it, they would have become a laughing stock. 
 
The three things that we never ever had on/at our table in the fifties... was elbows, hats and cell phones
