It takes strong men to defend a nation, especially in times of war. Preparing for war is more than stockpiling weapons; it includes raising boys to be boys.
We need to learn from our friends in the Muslim world; they train their boys to be brave, militant. I’m not talking about Muslim extremists or Islamic terrorists; I’m speaking of regular Muslims. They still believe that boys should be strong, brave, warlike, even war-ready.
On the other hand, some Western societies seem to be doing everything to tame their sons, so they can be “sensitive” like little girls. Need I mention that some of the boys are being “groomed” to become the wives of other men in same-sex marriages? (I know, some will call me homophobic.)
We will have to choose between our survival and being political correct.
The scary truth is, if America were to be dragged into another prolonged truly global war, like World War I and World War II, our population may no longer be able to stomach the sheer force it might require to win such a war. Why not? Because so many American men have become feminized, that’s why. The society as a whole can hardly stand seeing war casualties in the tens of thousands. We’ve seen the evidence from the Iraq war. Americans grew very nervous as the body count climbed, and CNN liked to tally the body bags. Millions of Americans began to call for an end to the Iraq War.
In another global war, with various nations lined up on either side, the camp that has the guts to stomach a higher number of war-dead will be favored to win such a war. And the side whose citizens cringe from the site of bombings, blood and deformed bodies may well become conquered territory.
Unless, Americans reverse how we bring up our boys, I’m afraid we may be digging our own graves by turning our sons into daughters. If we continue down the road of feminizing our sons, our daughters will have no brothers strong enough, tough enough to take up for them, to fight for them, to defend them. Or perhaps luck may have it that while we tame our boys into girls, we may also succeed in turning our girls into what we used to call boys.
There is some of that going on too ~ I mean making boys out of girls. The other day, on national TV, a mother was shown pleading for her daughter who wants to play football with the boys. That little girl sounded so confident, she could easily pass for a brave, little boy. This, in a culture, where some boys are taking the tryout to become cheerleaders! Could it be that it will take our daughters, sisters, and mothers to save us, after all? It’s like the return of Joan of Arc. Hey, I suppose girly men won’t mind being rescued by manly women.
