Yes what you say is true. However, our citizens don't have the stomach for it. Feelings will get hurt and tears will flow. Leadership. It doesn't exist in our military or our law enforcement anymore. I served in both.

When you decide violence is “beneath your moral standard”, it won’t be too terribly long before someone uses violence to impose their moral standard upon you. But beware of this warning: “Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its place! For all who take hold of the sword will die by the sword.”

How do you envision teaching the right kind of violence in schools? By these standards, if I want something bad enough, even if it’s not mine, I should use sheer force to take it. Is this the right kind of violence? Although things were “settled” with violence, I find it hard to believe that settling means solved.
