Of course, the very existence of any country depends on them continuing the fight. For instance, imagine that every man and woman fighting for America dropped their weapons all at once and gave up. There would be absolutely nobody left to defend us. How long would it take for one of the other big leagues to realize that no one was going to stop them from acquiring more land in the westward region of the world? America would not be a free country for long without the protection of our
