This is an excellent message from Maj. Mark Smith on war. Nobody ever wanted
to be a whining punk. No one respects a whining punk. Why do we see these
whining punks on TV so much?
It is a war and we need to do what ever it takes to win and that is the
first and main rule in warfare.
You never go to war with the intention of running backwards or giving up and
deserting the people you are fighting to defend.
Ask a combat Veteran if you want the truth and not some whining punk.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter.
