You are avoiding the question. Making our young men into pansies is not in our best interest. Utopian and idealistic is right. Violence must be met with violence period. If someone is threatening you or your family or country you must be prepared, willing and able to execute that violence as quickly and efficiently as possible. Waht do you think your going to do if you have a home invasion open your mind and your heart? This idealistic utopian non-violent mantra I keep hearing will only lead to our downfall. This run and snitch mentality developes weakness not strength. We were born into this predatorial world and must deal with it accordingly. That is why it is wise to learn to defend. This wisdom will lead to confidence and that confidence will lead to successfully defending oneself, their family and our country. This is how it is, we simply cannot live your pipe dream.
