Folks I think Jeff is goading me into writing more. He's pushing my buttons. I have had much time to think about the Army, armed conflict and conflict resolution. Perhaps I should air our my opinions a bit more. My writing is raw though.
We are both enraged by acts of violence. We both act in our own way to oppose this.
Acts of manipulation for selfish profit is an undercurrent that Jeff, Chad and I address with through his articles daily.
We at Bullion Bulls certainly speak out against manipulation and injustice as it relates to the world monetarily. However one is hard pressed to seperate the world of money from politics and policy. Hence our current discussion.
I stew over these situations but write very little. I do try to make good personal choices, and act in good character as much as possible. I know of no short-cut to integrity, it is the slow path.
Perhaps you will read of my struggles as they related to my Army or Investors career a bit more. Let me know if that would hold any interest. Boot

To borrow a term from you army guys, I better make a "strategic withdrawal"!

Keep writing, I'll keep reading. The only way to get better at writing is the only way to get better at anything, and that is to put some skin in the game. Not that I'm any good, mind you... I am not qualified to give specific advice. I just want to encourage you the way that others who *are* qualified to give advice do. Just write, they say. So, just write.

The best friend and worst enemy you can have in the world is a "warrior".
Every culture has had "warriors", throughout history. Some have been admirable and some have been monsters, but all have been (by my definition) loyal to one another and the ideals they hold sacred. To lose that, to sell out your fealties and ideals, makes you something else... something less.
Fighting doesn't make you a "warrior", but fighting for what you believe in does.
Matter of fact, that's the *only* requirement as far as I'm concerned.
