THE AMERICAN WARRIOR - America’s warrior culture and the warrior class

'"No Southern man is complete without a tenure under military rule." That one sentence penned by author Pat Conroy in his best-selling novel The Lords of Discipline , is utter truth spoken to the heart of any Southern boy or man. It does not mean all Southern men serve, have served, or will serve their country. But it does mean that deep down in the well of the soul of the Southern American male there is a sense of duty and martial responsibility that cries out to be acted upon. I’ve chosen Southerners as an example, because I am Southern. And I understand the emotions wrapped up in – and the reasoning behind – this sense of duty and martial responsibility.'

As much as I think Jimmy was a crappy President, he did graduate from the Naval Academy and served honorably.

"So how has this warrior culture and warrior class flourished in a nation where militarism is seen as both not necessarily virtuous and an ideology to guard against? It has done so because the warrior culture is an inescapable part of our make-up stemming from the blood of our frontier-extending ancestors."

And thank God for it!

"Moreover, terrorist attacks in our country have been thwarted by American law enforcement authorities and intelligence types at every turn. Thank God!"



And, thanks to our president's strong stand and no thanks to the MSN and the Murtha types who fight against the US at every turn.

The enemy had knocked down two of our buildings a few days earlier, just as Pitcairn’s Redcoats had knocked down our two little militia companies. And like the American warriors who regrouped and reformed in the spring of 1775, their descendents in the fall of 2001 were forming on training grounds from the piney woods of Fort Bragg, North Carolina to the sagebrush hills of Camp Pendleton, California.

The simple fact is that no matter how hard someone hits us, we always get up and hit back twice as hard. And the enemy still hasn’t figured that out.

Great article!

And the records show that Billzo took the pre-induction physical on 4 different occasions. There's absolutely no indication that he ever passed the exam ~ and he won't allow his medical records to be made public.

Remember, Peronie's Disease is a cause for rejection for military duty.

Someday folks are going to finally figure out that when you have lemons you make lemonade ~ and using your rejection from military duty as a way to attract campaign financing from leftwingnuts was an outstanding idea at the time.

The Warrior Culture is not only alive and well in the South, it is increasing.

"As much as I think Jimmy was a crappy President, he did graduate from the Naval Academy and served honorably."



Jimmy was in college when Pearl harbor was attacked in 1941, by 1943 when the pressure to enlist must have been terrible, Jimmy enlisted in the four year Annapolis class to go on active duty by 1947.

Because of an accelerated program, Jimmy actually managed to make it onto active status by June, 1946.

I followed the issues rather closely during the misrule of the loathesome Slick Willy, and I don't remember ever hearing that before.

I do remember seeing the letter he sent the ROTC instructor who got him out of being drafted on the promise that he, Beelzebubba, would enroll in ROTC.
