Ready? I don’t think that any of us can truthfully claim to be 100% ready in every respect. All I can claim is that I try to improve my readiness, but by bit, every day.

Truer words never spoken. I will never be truly ready, I can only try to make myself as ready as I can each day.

The single most difficult "readiness" question for those on our side will be, "Are you ready, willing, and able to kill them when they come to kill you?"

Unless you have pointed your own gun at somebody and pulled the trigger, you won't know what the answer is, even for yourself, until you reach that point.

It is more difficult than most people realize.

That is something I preach, mostly to myself. Having the right gear is great but being mentally prepared to do what you must is much more difficult
