It's way past time for the "Boo Hoo" crowd to finally get out of bed. The fear mongers living on banker's hours, will waste no time "jamming" my figurative 1st Amendment right to calm down their whining. I know most posters here were not promoting fear, they were only drawn into reporting what they experienced.
Doom, doom and still more doom; my vocal weapon against those preaching fear falls apart once the heart of the soldier next to me deserts his post. Suddenly, a few more men cravenly turn with him. Now, fear spreads to squads, platoons, companies and battalions. They all show their backs to our common foe. Armies become "every man for themselves" routs when one single man's heart fails. Virus' begin their attack the same way, killing one cell at a time. The histamines released from one cell initiate a cascade, soon they trip the alarm in the chemistry of fear. Fear causes a primitive instinctual "fight or flight" mechanism to kick in.
Rigorous training is designed to overcome and promote a different set of values. Immediately following orders and directional commands are essential to avoid the alarm bells and cowardice.
It only takes a few cowards on the thin green line. The messenger in me here at FR needs active listeners to get themselves ready for the future. Please set upright calm people here at FR about the business needed to protect and defend our precious liberties!
Amen and Amen
