“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

This is the kind of young man you want at your six

by Doris Wise Montrose on November 20, 2021

“Unless you’re a seasoned combat veteran in urban warfare, you can’t begin to understand the near-perfect execution of complex dynamics, mental fortitude, and clarity exhibited by Kyle Rittenhouse, as he defended himself with near-perfect precision against a gang of thugs. This young man has a skill set that most LEOs do not possess.

“In military survival school, we were taught that it doesn’t matter how physically strong you are, how intelligent you are, or how resourceful you are. It’s not that these qualities don’t have any significance, it’s just that they are not the most important. The most important quality when your life is on the line is adaptability. Being able to adapt to horrendous situations regardless of how adverse they are, while retaining your ability to think clearly and rationally, as you execute with speed and precision. Kyle nailed it! He’s as much of a hero as any military man who risked his life for his brothers. This is the kind of young man you want at your six.”
