It is imperative that we fully understand the nature of the threat so that we can begin to prepare. The more we prepare now, the fewer lives will be lost when the assault occurs. Quite surprisingly, Giduck, an experienced commando and combat expert, acknowledges an unimpeachable resource to draw upon in this war the terrorists will visit upon our children.
Perhaps the greatest single asset in our anti-terrorism efforts comes from the mothers of school age children…They represent the single largest and most motivated security and intelligence force our country has…
I can easily imagine the havoc these women would wreak on terrorists in this country if their schools were targeted. Unlike Beslan, as soon as the threat was perceived, some would be on their cell phones, calling local police and husbands, many of whom would be within seconds of the school with guns. Some, already in their vehicles would escape while others rammed the groups of terrorists with their SUVs as they took positions around the school. Some might flee on foot, taking refuge in areas throughout the school. Still others, likely armed themselves, would simply pull their guns from ready purses and shoot some of them down.
No one can realistically believe that a small group of enraged mothers would be an effective counter-force to a larger group of heavily armed, well-trained jihadists taking over an American school. Nor that they would likely possess the skills to ascertain sophisticated surveillance activities. But just because you cannot do “everything” does not mean that you should not do what you are capable of. Terrorists are human, they make mistakes too; and if committed citizens like the mothers of our children are there every time they make a mistake in their plotting against our children, we will be able to stop them time and again.
The words of Sergei Lisyuk should ring in our ears everyday for the rest of our lives: “There is going to be a battle. People will die.” Some causes are worth dying for. The lives of our children and the freedom of our nation are chief among them.
* If you would be interested in attending an eight-hour counter-terrorism conference for concerned parents, teachers, and law enforcement, please email me. I have already contacted Archangel Group and they are willing to come to Houston, Texas. I hardly think that I’m the only concerned parent out there, so I’m testing the waters to see who else might be interested. I’m especially interested in bloggers who can help get the word out. If you’re not sure, get the book – and then you’ll be damn sure.
