Tested Under Fire: Relevant on the Battlefield and in the Streets

Listening to city leaders pontificate about defunding the police while anarchy is erupting in their streets has been but one of numerous moronic storylines playing out on the news over the past few months. It’s another area where there are far too many appalling similarities to the late 1960s, early 1970s. That’s when mayhem in the streets was the “in” thing for many of today’s leaders on the left … another sordid “time warp” (Canada Free Press, Dec. 3, 2020). The images from today’s cities with rioting and looting ongoing — a.k.a., mostly peaceful protests — have illuminated clear analogies regarding what infantry troops face on the battlefield and police officers face in the streets. Being tested under fire is pivotal to both.
