Islam is a demon. The people possessed by it are irrational. They act by compulsion. Islam is a demon that eats people. It drinks the blood of the innocents murdrered by its followers. It eats the souls of Muslims. They do not go to 72 nubile virgins. When they die, these people, who are formed after the creator, are dragged down to the depths, to the horrors of the bowels of Hell. They will experience thousands of lifetimes of the suffering they have inflicted on others. If you meet a Muslim you are morally obligated to warn him of what lies ahead, for him and for all Muslims. A few years from now there will not remain one Muslim on the face of the whole earth. Tell them, “Get out now!”

I didn’t realize that more civilians died in the battle of Iwo Jima than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

” One of the key targets in a war is the enemy’s will.”

More like THE key target. As long as the enemy has any will left to fight you haven’t won. Only unconditional surrender is victory. That’s why it worked so well with Japan and Germany.

This should be required reading for everyone except the most brain dead of leftists.

Squarely on the mark. Excellent example of clear thinking.

Amen, my FRiend.

In my Bible, it says “Satan often appears as an “angel of light”. The founder of islam claims that an “angel of light” appeared to him in a cave and gave him the koran.

Interesting, hmmmm?

I watched the movie, Lone Survivor, last night on the Roku.
It is based on the true story of the failed United States Navy SEALs counter-insurgent mission Operation Red Wings, during which a four-man SEAL reconnaissance and surveillance team was tasked to track Taliban leader Ahmad Shah.

While the four SEALs are in surveillance position watching the Taliban and Ahmad Shah, three goat herders (an old man and 2 teens) happen upon them. Their dilemma is whether to kill the goat herders, or tie them up in which case wolves would probably eat them when night came, or let them go free. Their orders were to NOT engage so killing would have meant possible later court martial, and one of the SEAL’s brought up the fact that they could not in good conscious murder three “innocent civilians”. The SEAL’s decided to let them go, and run like crazy back to where they would have radio contact to call for extraction.

Well, you already can guess what those three “innocent civilians” did as soon as they were let go. They ran directly to the Taliban, who then came after the SEALs faster than they could get radio contact, and the rest of the movie is the bloody chase. That bad decision to show mercy to the enemy cost all (including eight men on a helicopter that was shot down while trying to rescue them) but a Lone Survivor their lives.

How many more of our brave soldiers will the golfer-in-chief allow to die before we get serious about defeating the Muslim terrorists?

More to the point, soldiers must not be required to be nice and treat the enemy with respect. War requires death or it is no war and there is no victory and there is no peace. Capitulating to Islam makes Allah stronger and us weaker.
Mohammed teaches his followers to weaken the infidel and bring him into subjugation. This is precisely the direction Obama is leading our country. Our soldiers are not given arms. They are told not to engage. They are taught to bow before the caliphate.

Okinawa, not Iwo Jima. Greenfield might have misspoke. Marpi Point, at Saipan, was another location of Japanese civilian mass suicides. Absolutely horrific - I read a few oral histories of it, by Marines who witnessed it.

My grandfather was always glad that they dropped the big one. He (along with a few million other soldiers and marines) was slated to be a part of the invasion, and frankly, wasn't looking forward to it.

Sorry, missed the closing tag. That’s what I get for not reading before posting.

Great column as usual. WW2 will likely be the last war we win.

We have an ideological civil war going on in this country right now. And we are losing. The middle east is insignificant compared to this one.
