I’ve read this several times, and would urge others to take a few minutes to read it as well.

One of the best articles on this topic I’ve ever read.

I also highly recommend Lt. Col. Grossman’s book “On Killing”

I've always enjoyed this allegory, but I think it's worth noting that some of our sheepdogs...

From: American Sheepdogs, The Chester County Victory Movement

The Chester County Victory Movement started with a simple purpose – to support our troops. With the guidance of our leader, retired Navy veteran Rich Davis, we’ve grown into one of the largest grass roots pro-troop, conservative movements in the mid-Atlantic region.

We support conservative values and policies, strict interpretation of the Constitution, and a strong national defense. We are also firm believers that victory is always the answer and peace comes through military strength. God bless America.

WE PROTECT THE SHEEP FROM THE WOLVES!
