We won, unconditionally, every war we ever fought until the hippies and dopers of the 60s infiltrated the system and made it fashionable to be anti-USA. This country has the ability to win, but the commie socialist leanings of our enemy from within can defeat us. It's people like Kerry, McCain, Pelosi, Streisand and others who are the enemy among us.

That is correct.
