"The real will to struggle, the real hatred is satisfied by anything that can destroy the enemy. Destruction is the only means which seems suitable for nationalism in the present situation. The first part of its task is anarchic, and he who has realised this will welcome anything that can destroy in this first part of the road. It is not our task to devise measures to make external political pressure more bearable, to reduce internal political tensions, to participate in elections, to influence conferences and votes, to engage in so-called referendums. It is not our job to go on long tirades against the general deterioration of political and social morality, against abortion, against strikes, against lockouts, against cuts in the police and the army. We leave all fanatics with the idea that there is a form of revolution that maintains order at the same time. What has the elemental to do with the moral? Yet we are drifting towards the elemental, which has become visible to us again for the first time in a long time in the hellish throes of war. We will not stand where the flame of the torch has not opened the way for us, where the flamethrower has not accomplished the great purification through nothingness. He who denies the whole cannot draw fruit from the parts. Since we are the true, real, and irreconcilable enemies of the citizen, we entertain his degradation. But we are not citizens, we are sons of war and civil war, and only when all this, this spectacle of circles spinning in the void, is swept away, only then can what is still left in us from nature, from elementality, from true savagery, from original language, from the capacity for true reproduction through blood and seed, blossom. Only then does the possibility of new forms emerge."
~ Ernst Jünger, "Nationalism" and Nationalism

Normal is not synonymous with natural. Anything within a group or society can be normalized and thus become "the norm". But what is unnatural can never become natural. And there are consequences sooner or later for going against nature's laws and decrees.

“Thus, our trump card was the amour, which we decided to send into action immediately in order to crush the Japanese troops which had just crossed the river, not letting them dig in and organize anti-tank defences. There was no time to lose, since the enemy, who saw our tanks advance, rapidly began to take defensive measures and started bombing them.” — Zhukov’s memoirs, on the Battle of Khalkhin Gol

Decline is an old temptation of the European soul, the dark side of its tragic courage. In spite of the sun of Attica, Hesiod had already whispered the song of the twilight, before the bards took it back under the grey sky of the old Germania and the Celtic countries.

It was this song that haunted Master Robert Wace, in his island of Jersey, one day as he traced on parchment the first lines of his Roman de Rou, in the middle of the 12th century:

«All things hasten to decay
All fall, all perish, all come to an end
Man dieth, iron consumeth, wood decayeth
Towers crumble, strong walls fall down, the rose withereth away...»

Certainly. But also, all things come back, they are reborn, they live again. Children are born and succeed to fathers.

And even if some generations would be forgetful and unfaithful, without them knowing it, through them life is transmitted and with it, a part of the heritage that other generations eager to return to the sources of the kingdom, beyond time, will find later on.

📖 History and Traditions of Europeans — Dominique Venner, 2002

“Because the Romans did in these instances what all prudent princes ought to do, who not only have to regard present troubles, but also future ones, for foreseen, it is easy to remedy them; but if you wait until they approach, the medicine is no longer in time because the malady has become incurable. […]
Therefore, the Romans, foreseeing troubles, dealt with them at once, and not even to avoid a war would they let them come to a head, for they knew that war is not to be avoided, but is only to be put off to the advantage of others. They wished to fight with Philip and Antiochus in Greece so as not to have to fight them in Italy. And at the time they could have avoided both wars, but this they did not wish. Nor did they care for that which is forever on the lips of the wise ones of our time, namely, that for one’s own benefit one has to bide one’s time, but always they immediately wanted to exploit their own strength and insight. For time drives everything before it, and can turn something that is bad into something good, but also something good into something that is bad.” —Machiavelli, The Prince, CH3.

"To attack makes even a coward bold."
~ Xenophon

The Iliad is and will forever be the greatest epic of all time. One of its many lessons is that the gods do care about human beings but for that we need to be deserving of their attention. Each hero of the trojan war was favored and aided by a specific deity or another. Thus, the gods were in a way represented by their champion.

Heraclitus said that war is the father of all things. The gods are as much involved in warfare as we are. It should be noted that in their infinite wisdom they see it fit to despise the weak and to only favor/assist the bold and mighty. To the strong and brave belongs eternal glory.

This peaks my interest!

Agathocles was the Warrior-Prince of Syracuse, who through his own ability and will, took the polis for himself and propelled it to ever greater heights. Much in the mold of Alexander, Agathocles leveraged his military skill to secure the wellbeing of himself and his country. Distilled from the three classical sources and expertly weaved together, H.J.W. Tillyard does an excellent job of synthesizing disparate elements of history and brings to life a Titan of the ancient world!

Bonus: Maps, Pictures, and illustrations are included and restored in our modern edition!

I hope you all understand that basic infantry tactics take roughly two weeks at most to learn and master. That is nothing. The United States doesn't necessarily win gunfights when it is engaged by enemy units, it relies on airpower to destroy their enemies. In cases where this was negated, it was a pretty even fight, especially when faced against people that can shoot straight and have higher than room temperature IQ.

Its well within your power to train and study war and politics. I hope you all realize that the world is on the edge and there is no reason why what is happening in the Ukraine can't happen here in the United States.

-Gen. Lance

“Throughout history the cavalry soldier has despised the infantryman, and to have placed the Greek mercenaries in the forefront of the battle would have been to surrender the to them the place of honour. Military etiquette forbade it; pride of rank is sufficient to explain this particular tactical folly, as it also explains the conduct of the Gothic horseman at Taganae (A.D. 552) [Totila launched a sudden large-scale mounted assault upon the Byzantine center. The Byzantines were prepared for this, and archers on the flanks inclined their fronts towards the center. The Ostrogothic cavalry was caught by enfilading fire from both sides that inflicted heavy casualties.], of the French chivalry at Crécy [They attempted multiple cavalry charges at prepared English positions on a hillside covered by archer fire.], and the arrogance of the mounted warrior in scores of battles up to WWI.”
—JFC Fuller on the Persian troop positions at the Battle of the Granicus, from the book The Generalship of Alexander the Great.
