142 sats \ 5 replies \ @JesseJames 30 Jul \ on: What is masculinity? FiresidePhilosophy
Allow me to quote one of the best commanders of our Military: Gen. James Norman Mattis aka. "Mad Dog" or "Chaos" USMC (slightly paraphrasing) "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill every MF you meet". Is that masculine enough for ya...? :-) He got few more of those but the basic premise was the same (Si vis pacem, para bellum)

True, but I tend to think military perspectives are unhinged.

Sure but in the context of battle Patton is correct because war is hell

This….^^^^
As we have seen time and again, you never know who, or what, or where, and you don’t get to choose.
I find myself gaming out scenarios in my head, throughout my day instinctively. Choose to be the hunter, instead of the prey.
