We have been fighting terrorism for decades, a bit of a tip-toe approach in the 1990s, far more aggressively since 2001. America’s military has defeated terrorist forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, and throughout the ‘caliphate’ that ISIS claimed jurisdiction over more recently. Yet, each time our forces win militarily, the bureaucrats and politicians undo what the military accomplishes.

As illustrated in Victory Betrayed, Operation Dewey Canyon American armed forces have successfully fought generations of enemies on foreign fields, only to be undermined by domestic enemies here at home. Operation Dewey Canyon was one of the myriad successful free-world operations in Vietnam, yet our troops were betrayed from the beginning by asinine Rules of Engagement that prevented us from blocking the Ho Chi Minh Trail and denying the communists their vital resupply and reinforcement routes.

While patriotic Americans put their lives on the line, self-anointed “elitists” toy with futures, fortunes, and lives. As we see in The Hypocrite, A Celestial Murder Mystery, these arrogant egotists exist across the spectrum of American society. And let’s not forget our elderly. With tens of thousands of nursing home residents dying – allegedly from coronavirus – anti-euthanasia forces globally are questioning government response to and explanations for this ‘pandemic.’ Granny Snatching, How a 92-Year-Old Widow Fought the Courts and Her Family to Win Her Freedom opens a true-life window into a world where money means far more than family, and ‘elder care’ is a euphemism for ‘lock them up!’

As shown in Masters of the Art, A Fighting Marine’s Memoir of Vietnam, which has been selling in hardcover and paperback since 1989, America’s warriors have been performing magnificently to defend our country, but have been vilified by a hostile media since the end of WWII. Free-world forces, led by the US, have killed tens of thousands of vicious villains in the War on Terror, hundreds of thousands in the Korean War, and more than a million in Vietnam. Yet, in each war the US State Department, backed by Congress and the media, puts enemy supply lines and facilities off-limits to US troops, permitting unrestricted resupply and reinforcement. Bureaucrats have concocted such a maze of contradictory rules and regulations that our troops face as much danger in battle from ‘legal eagles’ anxious to put convictions on their records, as from enemy forces shooting at them with bullets, rockets, and bombs.

Today’s armed forces have to wait for a person to start shooting at them before they can take action! We have military personnel sitting in prisons because they stopped the raping of little boys on American bases! And like the bureaucrats and politicians of yesterday, today's State Department seems to think America’s military is some sort of charity, not the front line defenders of our Constitution and our freedom.

Are we a nation that deserves to inherit all that our predecessors and ancestors fought, bled, sacrificed, and died for, or have we become a nation of sheep? It is easy to identify the problems facing us. The question is, what are we going to do about it?
