In The Beginning

In this scene she’s actually at band camp so she says, “This one time at...here, ...” But even in the first movie (IIRC) she always related everything back to band camp, no doubt an important experience for her. I hijacked this naïveté for ANTIFA’s self proclaimed militant ‘toughness’ though they lack formal military or paramilitary training which shows in their crude communist thuggery.

When bullets fly, amateurs will learn quickly. The American Revolution shows that amateurs can win against professionals. But it’s a steep cost in the beginning. The US Military has been training and using both large scale and guerrilla operations. As long as the civilian governments don’t get paralyzed with fear of bloodshed, America can be effectively defended. We should never have allowed Socialism/Communism to gain a toe-hold here, but that’s what they do; use their freedoms in order to take them away. Today’s riots are our warning to prepare. I warned of this since the 80’s and as a student of the American Civil War, I know it will be bloody and not very pretty but I won’t shy away from it, either. I love Independence too much to just surrender it.
