War Soldier Enemy

More From Paul Fussell

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

If americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. public education is the enemy. the entertainment industry is the enemy. the corporate culture is the enemy. the advertising industry is the enemy. and most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. an enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of americans.

War Fighting Men
All american wars (except the civil war) have been fought with the odds overwhelmingly in favor of the americans. in the history of armed combat such affairs as the mexican and spanish-american wars must be ranked, not as wars at all, but as organized assassinations. in the two world wars, no american faced a bullet until his adversaries had been worn down by years of fighting others.

Society can give its young men almost any job and they'll figure how to do it. they'll suffer for it and die for it and watch their friends die for it, but in the end, it will get done. that only means that society should be careful about what it asks for. ... soldiers themselves are reluctant to evaluate the costs of war, but someone must. that evaluation, ongoing and unadulterated by politics, may be the one thing a country absolutely owes the soldiers who defend its borders.

Adore god. reverence and cherish your parents. love your neighbor as yourself, and your country more than yourself. be just. be true. murmur not at the ways of providence. so shall the life into which you have entered be the portal to one of eternal and ineffable bliss.

I travel up and down the country and i've been all around the middle of america for many years. middle america is not one big mass of people with a proverbial beer in its hand, keeping the country down. that is not my experience of it and i don't labor under that misconception. and we have a long tradition of coming together through music in our country.
