NATO, you got fat and flabby and lazy. You sat on the laurels earned by and taught to you by the deaths of sixty million in WWII. You thought and taught that it could never happen again.
During the cold war you maintained your armed forces and remembered the horrors that tyranny and authoritarianism can create. Your warriors remained alert and ready while your academics and historian taught the lessons of the past. You remembered the sacrifices of a whole generation. But you grew soft! You questioned the morality of defensive war, you allowed holier than thou students to reduce your heroic actions to the level of the thug. At school you stopped teaching your own history with pride and instead gave equity to those who would undermine your values. You let that great grubby god 'Money' steal your values and virtue, - substituting cash with the excuse 'Someone else will take it if I don't'. Generals allowed their armies to be reduced to bland green reservists whose sole purpose was to march in concert with the lowest common denominator. Cheap and cheerful made it look good. By reducing your effectiveness in the name of 'equality', you trained your youth to cry and whine when confronted with failure and disappointment. You trained them to remain childish like puppies for their entire existence. While the monsters of communism and fascism rebuilt their followings you wore your Hugo Boss and took your cash and told us we were yesterdays people. You were the new awakening. Well you are awake now the monster has returned and yes, - he still has nuclear weapons, - he still cares nothing for your values and he certainly doesn't care if you cry - or die! Where are your warriors, where are your leaders? Where are the men and women who understood evil and the lessons of history? Not in your parliaments, not in your police forces and not in your schools. All your human rights are as nothing when a T72 tank comes down your road. Tanks don't understand 'INAPPROPRIATE'. There are new sacrifices to be made. Are you prepared to meet them as you ought? "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." You are awake now little children and it's time to grow up!
