WHEN DEFEAT BECOMES ACCEPTABLE



We hear much today, as we did in Vietnam, that
defeat is acceptable in this current war. One must ask
how we could once again come to this most distasteful
of national decisions. Perhaps we should look at the
genesis and consider whether we have a national
problem or a leadership problem. After all, we do
appear to have a nation of sheep who demand action to
kill one and all who attacked us and any of their ilk
(11 September 2001) and then wish to cut and run (Most
recent actions by Congress to cut off funds for war).
The greatest accusation these folks can hurl is; ‘ He
cried wolf.’ See? Darned sheep.

Defeat becomes acceptable to a large section of our
voting public whenever a total quitter in any war is
nominated for President (George McGovern in 1972) and
John (‘I’m a war criminal and a war hero’) Kerry. ‘May
the best man win’ has been replaced with ‘who cares as
long as everyone gets to play.’ For years the media
and the left claimed the real heroes of Vietnam were
those who wished us defeated. What the American public
never seems to get is the difference between heroes
and anti-heroes. ‘Just let the kids play’ is yelled
from the sideline by some fat lummox, male or female,
who never ‘played’ in their sorry lives. Some tub of
lard with four hot-dogs and an extra large classic
coke yells ‘Hey no smoking, we are trying to set an
example here.’ The ‘example’ shown is a formula for
future defeat in war.

Illegal aliens violate our borders and our laws.
What is our answer? ‘ OK, lets make them all citizens
it is only fair.’ Now we see the real agenda of ‘who
cares as long as everyone gets to play.’ Never did the
assault on Little League and Pop Warner football have
such a telling effect on the national psyche. We used
to only train quitters in left-wing colleges but now
we have them on the athletic fields of our very young.
Our military should study the amazing success of these
psychological operations run by the left. Every
national moral is swept aside and the ‘good guys’
become the ‘bad guys.’ How exactly would the left
control some really large guy on PCP on the streets of
L.A.? Oh, I forgot ‘ who cares as long as everyone
gets to play.’ After all, our way of fighting illegal
drugs is to accept defeat and make sure all committing
an illegal act have a clean instrument to do it with.


Our magnificent way of life has defeated the
ideological center of communism by out-spending and
out-smarting them. What is our answer to the
subsidiary communists still holding out in abject
poverty and starvation? ‘ Lets build them up with
investment and feed them.’ We fear they might fall
down? Heck that is supposed to be the object of the
entire exercise! Then again, I forgot ‘who cares as
long as everyone gets to play.’

It all seemed so foolishly innocent and not really
amounting to much but in reality it is and has been
part of a well thought out leftist agenda. The biggest
part of that agenda today is based in the statement; ‘
There is no winning an ‘unwinnable’ war.' Though your
spell-checker will tell you there is no such word as
‘unwinnable’ it is used daily by our leftist scholars
and media. The spell-checker is right and it should
not be part of the American vocabulary. Today young
virile men of the US Army, Marine Corps and Navy/Air
Force ground components carry the fight over difficult
terrain to our sworn enemies who wish to kill us. They
have done exceptionally well under these difficult
circumstances and have remained motivated through
multiple combat deployments. The old leftist axiom
‘lets declare victory and leave’ has progressed ( they
do call themselves ‘progressives’) to ‘lets declare
defeat and leave.’ After all, defeat is now
acceptable. Do we have a national(people) problem or a
leadership problem? It is both because our leaders
come from us and we ,as a people, are the problem. You
know, ' It doesn't matter if you win or lose but how
you play the game.' It doesn't matter? That is
right, losing is acceptable and WE are to blame.
