Determination, Strength, and Valor
Talk all you want to about superior fire power but I believe that history will recount that we few...we "band of brothers" we "gathered here today in the defense of liberty" can become a force upon the plain that will send a message to the tyrant.It is not the size of the dog in the fight but rather the size of the fight in the dog.
Right now we have networking, comm, opportunities to speak boldly and expressly. We have the very same voice that everyone else has...and on the footing WE DO HAVE EQUAL FIREPOWER!!
FROM "BRAVEHEART": "I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will you fight? Fight, and you may die. Run, and you will live, at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they'll never take our freedom?"I cannot rightly judge or measure another person's determination but I can certainly URGE determination. I cannot judge another's valor, but I can certainly encourage others. No one knows what he/she will do when the time comes, but we know the time IS COMING. Strength in numbers and a fierce determination to retain our liberties is a strong deterrent to any enemy.
Yes, we can be zapped by some laser beam from space or be shot with some high tech weapon, but we can also die in our beds, never tasting or even trying to attain freedom.
Which will it be? Take the easy road to slavery, or make it hard on them?
Would you be force marched into a pit to be machine-gunned or would you struggle to escape? You may die anyway, but perhaps some enemy soldier will get a hernia lugging your body away.
