   ....that violence is senseless. [1]Liberals are wrong.

     Liberals often like to say that "violence is senseless."
     Thats wrong.
     Violence isn't senseless. Senseless violence is senseless. And I
     should know. Before being awarded the Navy Cross and having the
     privilege of becoming a Marine, I was a gang member. Sometimes it
     takes having used violence for both evil as well as good to know
     that there's a profound moral difference between the two.
     People often ask me whether I still support the war. I never
     hesitate when answering: "Absolutely I support completing the
     mission," I tell them, "Now more than ever."
     I was honored to have been given the opportunity to fight in Iraq
     on our countrys behalf. And it was that experienceand five things
     I saw firsthandthat illustrate the foolishness of those who would
     equate American military power to that used by thugs and tyrants.

   Those five things will make your hair stand on end.

     When I think about my gang member past I shudder in shame. But if
     there was one lesson I learned from my past it is that there is a
     profound moral difference between using violence to destroy lives
     and using violence to save lives. Terrorists do the former;
     soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines do the latter.
     Antimilitary liberals need to learn the difference between the two.

   Yes, they do.
   As we like to say in Texas, some people just need killin'. (Hat tip to
