A Good Day

The military tactic of the ambush uses the elements of concealment and surprise to overwhelm an unprepared enemy. Typically a force under attack must withdraw the way they came in to survive an ambush, as blocking forces may lie in the road ahead, and a well-planned ambush is fortified to counter the doctrine of “assaulting through” the ambush. Historically, the ambush is relatively safe for the aggressor force.

Just as historically, the city of Shewan, Farrah Province, Afghanistan has been a safe haven for Taliban insurgents.

"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me."

— John Paul Jones

"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."
