Lesson 5: Wars are only truly won when the philosophy that started the war (and all those who cling to it), is eradicated from the planet.

Lesson 6: The only humane way to wage war is to be as overwhelmingly brutal and deadly as possible, to secure capitulation from the enemy.

Lesson 7: In war, there is such a thing as treason.

There are more but I think 1-11 cover the majors. We’ve pretty much done the opposite of them since 9/11 – Bush & Obama presidencies both.

As I remarked at the beginning: Ladd is dead solid perfect.
We must make sure our Posterity learns from our mistakes for their own good, for their own survival.
Reblogged this on Dave Alexander & Company — Ukuleledave and David Edgren and commented:
Dunno who this FilmLadd is, but these things are true.
He’s a film and commercial maker. A good man [despite being a Libertarian].
His movie Hive Mind is damn good – well-worth the cost.
