Are those of us here, regular people, veterans, keyboard warriors etc... prepared to die to save the country. It won't happen all over in every state...initially, but my instincts tell me either we are going to see open fire fights pop up in urban areas and suburban areas between civilians; or a Chinese army invasion from Canada (based on recent information)...or maybe both.
I think most of the conservative civilian population has the grit to go through with it but the left not so much, I think they're too snowflakey to even consider it. I think Trump will keep the presidency by either legal means, which is the preferred outcome, or (possibly but not 100%) by force in which I would expect many traitors will be out right killed, there's too much at stake to let this country die and I think we the people will find ourselves involved.
I'm glad I got to visit home before the end of the year, but now I find myself asking months from now if I have the conviction to fight or die. Killing and putting your life on the line is not an easy thing to, it's terrifying, and I hope if that time comes I can live to see the country survive.
What say you?
I ask myself this question many times throughout the day. I'm a grunt, I'm a dog, I'm a fuckn' warrior ... always have been. I joined the Marine corps in 2004, deploying to Iraq twice. I was scared then, I didn't want to die so early in life. I wanted a family, I wanted to "succeed", there was so much I wanted to do.
Those days have passed, I've accomplished my goals and I'm doing pretty well. I'm no longer scared to die, I understand life much more now and I know there must be sacrifice. What kind of man isn't willing to give his life to preserve this great country?
I would hate to leave my wife and children alone, but I also understand men like me must sacrifice in order to keep this country great. It's better I fight this battle than my children.
Here's a couple quotes I often recite when asking myself what I'm willing to do:
Hard times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
and weak men create hard times.
This is a quote from a German pastor after the rise of the Nazi party. I feel like we're living this today.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
