The Great Seal of The United States of America

“Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.”

-Douglas MacArthur

A lesson from former American general and politician Christopher Gadsen. Gadsen designed the 1775 Gadsen flag used by the Continental Marines which states “Don’t Tread on Me”. Now the in the Great Seal of the United States the eagle’s beak points toward the olive branch symbolizing the err toward an extension of peace. However, if threatened or violated the US has an alternate credible use of force. The last few invading powers only know this lesson well, not to agitate the one country under God.

Take the Revolutionary War

-On September 23, 1779 Near the coast of northern England John Paul Jones encountered two British ships and when given a demand to surrender he retorted “I have not yet begun to fight”. Jones then proceeded to deliver an American naval victory.

Look to the British in the war of 1812

-General Jackson went to a New Orleans covenant and thanked the nuns for their prayers after delivering a miracle to New Orleans: “By the blessing of heaven, directing the valor of the troops under my command, one of the most brilliant victories in the annals of war was obtained.” 

-Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry forced a British surrender in the battle of Lake Erie, which at the time held the greatest navy the world had ever seen. –  “We have met the enemy and they are ours.”

WWII

-The empire of Japan attacked the US states of Hawaii and Alaska. The US, in turn, decided to harness the power of the sun and in turn developed a weapon predicated on nuclear fusion. I need not say more.
