First Blood

 A friend's father once told me when I was 18 years old that, "...life's a bitch and then you die."  I really did not think much of that statement until I got older.

Rambo: First Blood (1982) is about a Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient, who wants no part of violence, until first blood is drawn against him.  Then he retaliates with a vengeance...

I thought of this movie as soon as HAMAS invaded Israel and after first blood was drawn Israel swore revenge with a vengeance.

The rest of the world has called FOWL against Israel...  how dare you retaliate!!!

The global media is full of war crimes against Israel but mentions no war crimes against HAMAS.

Only an idiot would not be able to see the hypocrisy in this statement.

This also reminds me of the war in Vietnam where our own US Congress refused to let the US military do its job because they were afraid of the consequence of the casualties inflicted upon the enemy.  As a result, thousands of Americans DIED.

Whether you are pro-Palestinian, pro-terrorist, pro-Israel, or pro-American, ALL SOCIETIES...  ALL CULTURES...  have a RIGHT to defend themselves against aggression.  If right is taken away, then our world DEVOLVES into chaos...  as people will fight regardless of the geo-political outcomes...

This is the MAIN REASON why our Founding Fathers gave us the FIRST and SECOND amendments to the US Constitution...  sometimes, if you want to be FREE, you have to fight for that FREEDOM.  And, when you fight, you might as well fight to win, otherwise the fight is meaningless.

• Ukraine should fight for their freedom
• Israel should fight for its freedom
• If it happens, then Taiwan should fight for its freedom
• The USA retaliated after 911 as we should have

FREEDOM IS NEVER GUARANTEED BY BIRTH...  NOT IN THIS WORLD...
