And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Gentlemen is exactly who you WANT doing this job. You want men that will think before acting, men who can identify the appropriate course of action given the mission, situation, resources, etc.

ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me a valid reason for those "gentlemen" to wear face masks?
