The Home of the Not Especially Brave

The first part of the above Viking saying appears to be not so true for many of today’s Twenty-first Century Americans, yet which, I think, was mostly true in the early days of the Twenty-first Century, when we were still reeling from the Islamic terror attacks of 9/11.

From “Why are so few Americans willing to defend their country?” (by Lionel Shriver at the Spectator, dated March 19, 2022):

For many of us war voyeurs watching the news with a glass of sherry, admiration of the little-engine-that-could Ukrainian fighters is underwritten by unease. As families escape to safety, plenty of feisty Ukrainians are remaining behind to battle a far more powerful aggressor, and they’re not all men, either. The question nags, then: in the same circumstances, would we stick around to defend our homelands, or would we cut our losses and get out?

Earlier this month, that’s precisely what a Quinnipiac poll asked Americans. Some 7 per cent answered ‘Don’t know’. But an astonishing 52 per cent of Democrats predicted that they’d skedaddle. Among Republicans, a full quarter would carpool with the hightailing ‘to hell with this!’ Democrats, while 68 per cent would stand their ground – or think they would. Among all respondents, 55 per cent would stay and fight, while 38 per cent would flee. Scaled up, that would be 125 million Yanks storming from the Land of the No Longer Free and the Home of the Not Especially Brave….

Read the rest HERE — after you have, as honestly as possible, answered these questions…

1) Why did so many Americans polled choose to flee our country?

2) Would you be among those who stand and fight, or would you be among those who flee? And why would you make that choice?
