Earlier in October, I reviewed Jesse Petrilla’s book ‘If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them’. Jesse Petrilla had been an Army Liaison Officer on the ground in Afghanistan and had taken part in the interrogation of Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists. He had also witnessed the defeatist politics that foreshadowed the loss of Afghanistan.
This week, Jesse joined me to discuss his experiences in Afghanistan and its lessons for dealing with Islamic terrorism now.
This is where our interview began.
“I recall one instance where we were ordered to turn over a shipping container of captured Taliban weapons to the Afghan government, and I told the Major in charge of the mission “You know these are going right back to the Taliban as soon as we leave, right?” Without hesitation he responded, “Oh yes, I know.”

Excellent video.
Civilization vs barbarism
Civilization is drowning in a sea of mud (=barbarism), Demographic disaster due to high barbaric birth rates.
The further I go back in history, the more I see conflict between tribal groups. Using primitive weapons and tactics, probably originating from techniques of hunting animals. The tribals learn such techniques from childhood, which constitutes a main part of their education. Masters of ambush and ruse.
Civilized people are educated to suppress such primitive instincts.
Pitting civilized soldiers in close combat against barbaric terrorists leads to unnecessary casualties amongst the civilized soldiers. The terrorist casualties don’t harm the overall progress of barbarism, as they celebrate deaths amongst their own people, and have a high birthrate.

I made into about 10 minutes and by then I was frustrated enough and had heard all I could take. (I don’t want to get to the point where I smash my computer)
