These are nice stories, not what happened in history.
The Aristocracy rose from war in every case when the delusions of priests and philosophers, and poets (Homer) failed upon contact with reality.
It is nice to spare the innocents, IF they are:: but it is far WORSE to spare the guilty.
That’s IF you wish - vainly- to mix morality with war, a practice you’ll rapidly be cured of by death or survival. Survival means doing what it takes.
At some points the Aristocracy in a few cultures did embrace restraint towards civilians, the results were satisfactory if the people wished for wars to at last end (Wellington in Spain then France) and utterly defeating if the people were against the invader and supported their boys no matter what- as Gaza chose HAMAS , Gaza made its choice.
Respect their choice.
Respect Gaza’s decision:
And let reciprocal respect from the Israelis be paid in full.
All we need to do as regards Israel is not betray them- but we already did and continue to...
GAE is DC and far from going to war for Israel betrays Israel for Iran. Iran being the cornerstone of Obama-Biden’s Mideast policy, betrayal of all including our own people and soldiers being the bedrock policy of DC.
The FBI is investigating one American named Robert Malley, whose security clearance has been suspended, he is the Chief Architect of the Iran as “balance” and “partner” in the MidEast.
Yes as usual money and favors changed hands.
Iran as 🇺🇸 partner; We tried that with the Shah, the Mullahs won’t make the same mistake.
As for the Americans; yes my fellow Americans you should learn the way of the sword-
But not from comic books.
History and the bitter experiences that will now shortly harden you or kill you will teach you the truth.
Thank you for the mention. As it happens, I helped coach fencing during my first year at my school. However, the program was cut thereafter, along with Latin and some other things.
I thought he was great. Good for him. Sad about the bs he had to go through, but it seems like he is in a good place now. Another reason micro schools with strong, well adjusted teachers would be so much better than industrial, Prussian schools.
Two points of our synchronicity-across-the-miles for my comment today:
"Here in America the woke are revealing themselves as the potential terrorists they are constantly accusing MAGA of."
I have been working on a long research piece about this conclusion albeit in a different realm! I hope to post it this week.
I love your "dancing" video, and I think that you will gain all the attributes you mentioned with continued practice. On that note, I started dancing in the kitchen on Sunday afternoon. I will do it with spatulas next time and eventually dance my way up to wielding my largest kitchen knives! We have two swords in our home, also. One is smaller (17" blade) and I typically use it to saber Champagne. The other is our "Hatori Hanso" sword which is quite large.

War is a racket, as Smedley Butler said, and Yuri Bezmenov just reiterated.

Spoils not being shared part of the Iliad conflicts, and yet here we still are.
So if it’s not pure, don’t war?
War like weather, it don’t care.
Want pure?
The #GazaRave
That was pure- until reality descended.
Nobody cares about the Game of Thrones except the idiots who think that is the only reality.

Impressive. Too bad it sounds like your school admin has drank the kool aid. How did the kids feel about that?
The kids that participated still talk about it fondly. Newer kids always ask why we don't bring it back. It's a shame, really.

The dancing is not the same as martial sword training....yet, woe to the fools...
Violence is always cartoonish. Level of skill or physical prowess doesn't make it less so.
What if 99% of the population laughed at the 1% who perpetrate violence?
Would violence go away?
Perhaps that is what happened long ago, and 99% of the population were murdered.
That seems to be what happened 5300 years ago when our Indo European ancestors wiped out the Early European Farmers.
The DNA chain tells us the Indo-Europeans killed all the men, then took their women...
... Hey! Wait a minute!
That kill the men, rape the women looks familiar!
And what about the Neanderthals, who were physically stronger than the Cro-Magnons. Guess who had the last laugh?
Homo sapiens became more strategic.
