For a true must read this weekend you can not miss Russ Vaughn's piece in the American Thinker: Good Enough to Die For. Russ encapsulates and reveals to us all the psyche of the american traitor when he writes:
My belief is that a lot of Vietnam War protestors were rightfully fearful of the physical perils of combat, as were all those of us who chose to serve there; but where we tamped down those fears and continued the mission, they wrongfully used a contrived moral outrage against the war as convenient cover to conceal their cowardice. To buttress that theory one simply has to look at how the huge, angry protests diminished, and ultimately disappeared in a remarkably short time once Congress ended the military draft. As young, draft-age men, all those angry protestors were able at the time to righteously rationalize away their true motivation until Congress stole their alibi, and only now, with the awareness and self-accounting that comes with age, are they, like Pat Conroy, facing the truth of their personal
cowardice. Sadly, too late, they have come to realize the truth of Conroy's most perceptive quote:"America is good enough to die for even when she is wrong."
Good enough to die for, even when she is wrong....I couldn't agree more Mr. Vaughn. It is the personal coward that promotes peace at all costs not because they find it a morally superior method but because they are simply afraid of the potential cost that the other options might entail.
