Those who want war will prepare for war.
Vegetius seems to have been addressing his comments to those who want peace. They too have to prepare for war.
This is an unpleasant thought. It’s one well-intentioned peace-lovers hate to contemplate. They cannot get their heads around the thought that there are really bad people out there who may want to kill you and your children.
Mostly however, they are rational and can be deterred.
IN the current case the danger, as I have said "again and again" is not Muslim terrorism. It is the piece by price surrender of vital freedoms in order to appease Muslims.
Here ia an example of what I mean. I've quoted it elsewhere:

Quote:
"But Random House decided to pull the book after advice that it "might be offensive" to some Muslims, and "could incite acts of violence by a small radical segment".
"The publishing group says they want to ensure the safety of the author, Random House staff and others."
Just a little bit, a teeny little bit, an almost imperceptible little bit, of the right to free speech died with that book.
So tiny that people will mock me for mentioning it.
How much will die tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow?
