I spent many years working overseas and overheard many conversations about American men.

We have a reputation for being loud, outspoken, obsessed with work and money, fixated on sports or video games or tv. 

Man men are but what few understand is a small percentage have a switch that, when turned on, ignites fierce determination against any obstacle.

There is a lot of talk about possible terror plots amongst enemies who crossed the border. 

I pray they aren’t true. If they are the majority of Americans will be scared, confused and panic or shutdown.

A small percentage however, will be absolutely determined to protect their communities - a determination that will be unbelievable to all who witness it. 

And that will be enough.

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve,” Admiral Yamamoto, 1942

What all enemies must know is America is THE most dangerous place on earth. It is enormous and well armed. It is remote with the protection of two giant oceans and defended by a small percentage of men who just want to deliver pizza or otherwise be left alone.

For some of us FAFO isn’t a meme or an invitation. It’s a warning. A certain percentage of American men will literally walk through flames then turn around and walk through them again to protect a single small child.

If you intend to do harm or just send a bloody message I can’t stop you. But I can suggest you read the following and believe me when I say this resonates DEEPLY with a small percentage of American men. 

Men who abide by the law but will unleash hellfire if unleashed or backed into a corner. 

Men who I suggest you just leave alone.
