All War Departments are now Defense Departments. This is all part of the doubletalk of our time. The aggressor is always on the other side.

To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.

In 'The King's Speech ' patriotism is utterly contained within a historical moment the third of September 1939 where the aggressor is clear the fight is clear it hasn't become complicated over time.

In the clashes between ignorance and intelligence ignorance is generally the aggressor.

If indeed a firearm were more dangerous to its possessors than to potential aggressors would it not make sense for the government to arm all criminals and let them accidentally shoot themselves? Is this absurd? Yes and yet the government of course is arming criminals.
