A story in the Dallas Morning News this week got my attention about how things have changed in the past 70 years. Manilla, Philippines, was the second most devastated city in World War II, after Warsaw, Poland. Japanese soldiers killed more than 100,000 civilians and destroyed the city, before Manilla was liberated by U.S. forces.
The story contained an account from survivors of the horror which included how hundreds at a time were herded into buildings and burned alive. The enemy was merciless as they slaughtered men, women and children. When the Americans came to liberate the city, over 16,000 Japanese soldiers died and 1,000 Americans.
Fast forward to today. What would happen? What is happening around the world? Hundreds of thousands are dying and Americans are dying. And, what are we doing to stop it? We are focused on getting the murderers jobs and cut off their ability to send text messages.
We could just take all the chains off our military and say, "Sic’em."
That’s the way that really works.
