Why can’t America defeat the 12th Century culture of our Muslims tormentors? On the night before the Normandy Invasion in June 1944, General George Patton spoke to his troops. “Americans play to win all the time. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war.” Up until that date he was right. At his Inaugural Address in January 1961, President Kennedy promised, “we shall pay any price, bear any burden…to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Really? Like when we fled Vietnam? Like when we left Iraq a bigger mess than it was when we first went there? Bottom line: America never suffered a military defeat in more than 25 wars since our founding—UNTIL about 1960. Since then we’ve barely won even one. Could the cultural corrosion of that period also have castrated our capacity to win wars? Are we doomed to defeat by Muslims?
