Written by @sofsurvivor - Don’t turn a blind eye to the reality of what the world is facing. There is no definitive end to this war, no defined timelines that will bring about a conclusion or negotiation that will get us closer. We are engaged in a war that has no borders, no terms and no rules. The harsh, brutal reality is that YOU ARE INVOLVED whether you like it or not. That YOU have a responsibility whether you like it or not. You have to be prepared for this man made disaster just like you’d be ready for an impending storm. You must accept preparedness in education, training skill sets & mindset. Trust me when I tell you there is no common ground. No amount of rapport or nation building will suppress the twisted ideas and actions of a large terrorist group. The only option is to bond and band with your tribe here at home and support the warfighter down range taking the fight to these scum.
