Question: Why does the death of 1 trained Serviceman/Minuteman justify the elimination of a million militia?
-
High-Value Asset (The Serviceman):
- Represents the State, the Constitution, and immense investment in training/capability.
- An attack on one is an attack on the Sovereign (The US Flag).
-
The Horde (The Militia):
- Disposable assets in the enemy's doctrine (Martyrdom/Meat Grinder).
- To deter a force that values its own life cheaply, the cost of aggression must be set exorbitantly high.
-
Deterrence through Disproportionate Response:
- If the exchange rate is 1:1, the enemy wins (they have more bodies).
- Therefore, the response must be Total & Brute Force (1:1,000,000) to re-establish the hierarchy of power.
- "Shoot to kill. No questions asked. Zilch."
- The decision to kill is not about the individual target, but about verifying the Sanctity of the Serviceman. Protection of the few requires the destruction of the many if the many threaten the few.
