License to kill? This isn't

License to kill? This isn't James Bond we're talking about, this is war. People die in war unfortunately, but we must accept this and let our military do its job. There are plenty of people out there right now who love to come over here and kill each and every one of us! We should be thankful that we have taken the fight to there homeland, and kept it away from ours. While your protests may be aimed at preventing our military from doing its job, on the grand scheme of things you are all so wrong. But, minds can not be easily changed, and I realise that. But please, think about what you are doing.

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
-- George Orwell

"Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war."
- Ernest Miller Hemmingway

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
- John Stuart Mill
