I was watching “We Were Soldiers” last night. It was about the first Air Cav unit in Vietnam and how it was brought into being and it’s first bloody nose. I was contemplating how familiar and prophetic the theme was to our time now. We are facing a communist enemy, a large contingent of them and while they are not as disciplined as a North Vietnamese Regulars, they are too chaotic, too unfocused to be useful really in a skirmish with trained veterans and hunters. Now we hear of veterans and even serving soldiers, Marines, Airmen that are left leaning and communist in their leanings. This cadre, are they training the brown, or black if you will shirts to be our opposing force? It is possible. They have already sent out scouts and saboteurs and rangers to disrupt and define the battle space. I see war on our near horizon, a civil war that will make our second Civil War between the states as a playground spat. Again it will be against brothers and sisters and families, neighbors, towns and cities. We will be tested and we will be horrified. May God have and show Mercy upon us.

“Gentlemen, prepare to defend yourselves!”
