This is just a rant, mods can move it if they feel they need to, but more pedes are feeling like me.
I live on the same land my great great great grandfather was given by the second continental congress gave hime for his service in the Revolutionary war. I've probably had a relative fight in every war weve ever had. Lost my brother to Desert Storm (I made it back), the sandbox has seen my 2 nephews over many tours. My election was stolen in 2020, and it seems that this country that I love is turning communist. My commander in chief, told me when the election was stolen, to put away my guns; that him and the military had this. I know he was not lying, I have enough critical thinking skills to know he is still the President, and some bad people are being arrested. I know that children are being saved by the military, the children are the biggest part of my patience. I know in my heart that God wins. I am ashamed of myself, because even though this is a long war, and things are happening; I have just stood by (well, i have been trying to wake people up) and let my countrymen die, some of my family die, and so many fellow citizens of this country be hurt. My sister says that I should be proud that I recognized what is happenning and stood down, But I dont know. Part of me (a minority part) sais get myself and nieghbors together, go get our guns and sleeping bags and do stupid shit, but i know this is wrong, but that same part of me feels ashamed that I have done nothing. Sorry, this is a rant, but i know im not the only patriot that feels this way!
Don't be too hard on yourself.
They had to completely reinvent war in order to even attempt to get around the fact we have more guns than some countries have people at our disposal.
There has never been a war like this, and there has never been an enemy this emboldened. At this point, just being aware we are at war is enough to turn the tide.
Your right never been a war like this. We say this but do we think about what it means...
It is by far the absolute hardest most daunting task to remain calm when you literally want to lunge and rage against the insults and madness!
It's almost like we are all having to learn the calm loving ways of Jesus in battle.
So our big victories do not have the Roar and smell of gunfire and sounds of battle. Ours are trying to develop and maintain grace and decipher strategy be active and change local communities and remain awake.
I think of that scene in Braveheart where William Wallace has his Army completely ready with sharpend timbers to stop the Heavy Horse Calvary.....HOLD...HOLD....HOLD!
Can't wait to LET THEM RIP!!
THIS! Hate to sound like AJ but it IS an infowar, just being tuned into what’s happening makes you a combatant, aside from sharing info to friends and fam on social media THAT really makes you a threat to (((them)))
