No, we are not warriors, not even in America, with our multitudes of armchair cavaliers watching the war on Fox or CNN, let alone in Europe where the fashionably effete sniff at such barbarity. I think we hate our warriors. I know there's a lot of lip service paid to the men and women in uniform, but it rings hollow to me. Sometimes I think we will be doomed but for the weakness of our enemies. But maybe I'm just a cynic. Maybe.

On the other hand, God is a warrior, and He fights on. In this I take comfort.
