If we follow the dictates of custom, we must remember that where custom rules, thought eventually becomes unnecessary.

Requiescat In Pace
We can sleep in peacefully in our beds tonight because there are men and women who are willing to do violence on our part. We live in a world that has walls and those wall are guarded by men and women who are part of a small percentage who have volunteered to do so. While to some the existence of these men and women is grotesque and incomprehensible, they don't appreciate the peace they have. They live in a world where a multicultural unicorn with a PhD in Diversity and Sensitivity snorts magical pixie dust. Here in reality land, I understand that it is because of these men who use words like honor, loyalty, and esprit d corps. These words form the backbone of a life that is spent defending something. Those who don't understand these words use them as a punchline at parties.
To those who don't understand I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain to someone who rises and sleeps under the blanket of freedom that is provided by valiant men and women why those men and women are necessary. I would rather that such people simply say thank you and go about their day. Otherwise, I suggest that they pick up a weapon and stand a post.
Either way, I don't give a damn what they think they think.
