40. So according to your philosophy

May 2012

If I am attacked in my own home, property I own, or just anywhere I happen to be legally I should just curl up into a whimpering ball of humanity and allow the attacker to do as they please?

I'm sorry, I didn't spend 21 months in the RVN and 20+ years in the bush and concrete jungles of the world to just give up. Yours is the philosophy of defeat.

When and if it happens I am going down trying my best to best my opponent. I will go completely medieval on their ass and not stop till I am either victorious or dead. They may win, but by God they WILL know they were in a fight.
