America IS the home today of the risk averse man. Except for Sandy Berger who risked 20 years in prison, probably to destroy evidence and warp forever history as it should be, namely the heritage of the guilt ridden (see the reaction to Chris Wallace and his 'little smirk', possibly the most GUILTY reaction I have ever seen on live TV) ex President Clinton, the most risk averse man to occupy the office since ....well....since.....since, never mind I can't think of anyone.
In 1993 18 non risk-averse Americans were killed when rangers risked their necks to save those trapped in Mogadishu by a helicopter crash post RPG ambush, while helping feed starving Somalians, who were too busy importing jihadis and killing each other in a welter of entropy laden stupidities and civil violence to notice anything but hunger and warlords and foreigners. The 18 lost army rangers was too much risk for Mr. Clinton, who then pulled American armed forces out of Somalia, and then in turn eventually placed that risk on the american civilians at home who were to be protected by the rangers and their actions.
We don't want our young people maimed and killed for a bunch of grievance ridden, religious warring, jihadi freaks who by the way are stealing our moneys as they run out at night planting shaped charges wherever americans might pass by, while busying themselves otherwise killing and maiming their semi co-religionists.
Fine.
But let's face it, failure to do so will place that risk those young people undertake right back on people like those sitting on the edge of their desks on a fine clear sunny tuesday morning one September.
Film makers and stars bemoan the risk our young people take. Imagine how they would have been whining over our horrific provocations of the Japanese, a nation with few natural resources, struggling to rise above it's third world back ground, and deprived of it's place in the sun by the aggressive, intolerant, imperial Roosevelt administration and its influential war hawking neocons (can anyone say Morgenthau and the rest of 'THEM', you know who, right (KKK ALERT) ?)
Let's imagine the reverse, though, John Ford, today.

Just read this. I think Solzhenitsyn was right, we, as Americans have no willpower or staying power. Got mine in 'Nam when on an operation, humping up and down mountains, from sunrise to almost sunset, and you get so tired you just want to sit down. Yeah, right, a whole battalion is going to stop so you can rest, so you learn to keep going.
