Veritas Lux Mea
Name: V
Age: 33
I am enclosed by mere flesh onto a grain of dust and that, to which I am indebted, carries a wind where I shall live forever.
Country: United States
Interests and Hobbies: Vi veri veniversum vivus vici: 'By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.' Dr. John Faust
Films and Shows: Many people of our great Nation, news organizations, political pundits, and representatives of the people have challenged the ideals behind a withdrawal from Iraq. These notions are to be rightly challenged, that, itself, is the great strength of our nation. However, I believe that those against ending the Iraq conflict are mistaken. Although many struggles between people seem endless, war, whether waged by the, 'mighty vs. the few or the few vs. the mighty', has a definitive beginning and an end. If there ever was a more complete description of our Nation's current leadership, or lack thereof on this matter, it is described by someone who lived over 2000 years ago in the fifth century B.C. Sun Tzu, in complete form, described the practices by which leadership affords, by both meanings of the word, victory or defeat. Historically, those who have heeded the strategies of this practiced master-of-war were victorious and those that did not, failed, both in the waging of the war and their Nation For instance, he says: 'When you engage in fighting, if victory is long in coming, the men's weapons will grow dull as will their spirits... If the campaign is not protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. When your weapons are dulled, your ardour damped, your strength exhausted and treasure spent, other nations will rise-up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue. There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Poverty of the State's national treasury causes an army to be maintained by contributions from a distance. Contributing to maintain an army at a distance causes the people to be impoverished...the proximity of an army causes prices to rise, and high prices cause the people's substance to be drained away. In war, then, let your great objective be victory, not lengthy campaigns. Thus let it be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people's fate, the man on whom it depends whether the Nation shall be in peace or in peril.' The generals of our military have studied such maxims, from Sun Tzu to Vom Clausewitz and further, and yet they have been 'released' from their duties and patronized for their questioning of a failed strategy. It is, in a general sense, sometimes acceptable for a person, and therefore a leader, to set forth upon a goal and disregard all obstacles and critic of that journey; to charge forward and remain steadfast in the achievement of that goal. Yet history and common sense relay to us that war is not one of these instances. And true leadership should not silence those critical of its policy, it should breathe them in, it should recall that no human is perfect, that those around us that criticize us offer a perspective of our being that we may sometimes be incapable of seeing for ourselves. Leaders who accept these truths show benevolence, to the Nation they serve and to those with whom we share this World.

I saw this vid on joerogan.net, and I had to put it on youtube and see what people thought of it. I always thought this was the Bible's most flawed story, and Joe articulated it in a way...just watch you'll see. joerogan.net
