"Every society has its warrior class. America in the 21st century is no exception. Whether it's the soldier defending their country, the police officer guarding their community or the private citizen protecting their home, all are warriors in the battle between good and evil." "The starting point for all these individuals is the realization that something must be done to secure those things that are important to them. It is the knowledge that someone must stand in the gap. The epoch quote is true, "All that is necessary for evil to prosper, it for good men to do nothing"! It is the understanding that they and they alone are responsible for the safety of their families, their community and their country." "Once an individual has come to realize that they are the one who must draw the line in the sand and, standing firm, say; "ENOUGH!" then and only then can they begin their journey into the Warrior Way." "Whatever one 's calling in this greatest of struggles; citizen, soldier or law enforcement officer - the journey is similar and the tools needed to survive the same. While the path taken and the obstacles encountered may be vastly different, the goal and the destination are surprisingly comparable." Hericletus (circa 500 B.C.) said of men in battle; "Of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there." "Eighty are nothing but targets." "Nine are real fighters, we are lucky to have them, they make the battle." "Ah, but the One..." "One of them is a Warrior..." "He will bring the others back."
