This is an oldie and a Goldie.
It was one of the things which first attracted me to the Patriot Movement as we know it today.

Some good quotes
"Mention "Afghanistan" or "Chechnya" to a member of the current Russian military hierarchy and watch them shudder at the bloody memories. Then you begin to get the idea that modern munitions, air superiority and overwhelming, precision-guided violence still are not enough to make victory certain when the targets are not sitting Christmas-present fashion out in the middle of the desert."
"What wolves DO care about is the threat posed to them by the real sheepdogs who the Founders of the flock with great foresight placed between the wolves of government and the flock of the people and charged with its protection -- the sheepdogs who these wolves merely pretend to be."
"The tyrant must be met at the door when he appears. At your door, or mine, wherever he shows his bloody appetite. He must be met by the pistol which can defeat an army. He must be met at every door, for in truth we outnumber him and his henchmen."
It is a great read, and a fantastic lesson on having the will to win.
We must have the will to win, the will to pull the trigger when it is needed. In the Marine Corps they taught us that it was not the rifle that killed, but the cold heart. You had to be willing to look down those sights and squeeze the trigger and do it again and again till you either win, or die trying.
We need to train and prep to fight, but we also need to know what we are fighting for to have the will to see that fight to the end, no matter what that end maybe.
