America's Hunters...The World's Largest Army

In WWII, Japan 's highest ranking naval officer was Isoruku Yamamoto. Although he was Japanese, and his loyalties were unquestionably with The Empire, he studied for many years in America, graduating from Harvard University. There is an oft-repeated (and sometimes disputed) quote attributed to him regarding the possibility of any nation taking a war to  American soil: "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would  be a rifle behind every blade of grass."



Here is why he was  correct:

America's  Hunters. The World's Largest Army.

The state of Wisconsin has gone an  entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That's great,  considering there were over 600,000 hunters that got permits this year. Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the  eighth largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than  France and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to keep the deer population under control. But that pales in  comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week.  Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in  a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the  world.

And that is just FOUR states (and Texas alone has more than those four combined).

The total population of registered hunters in America today ranges from 23 million to 43.7 million individuals. (Based on  annual data provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.) As long as the American Hunter retains his right to bear arms, America will forever be safe from foreign invasion of troops.

Hunting - it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.


I might also add that a large number of those same hunters are veterans that have been highly trained by the U.S. military. AMM

A lesson that should be taught in all schools . . and colleges 



Back in September, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something not to be forgotten.

On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. 

When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. 



'Ms.. Cothren, where're our desks?' 



She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.' 



They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 



'No,' she said. 



'Maybe it's our behavior.' 



She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' 

And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. 

By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms.Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. 

The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom, Martha Cothren said, 

'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' 



At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. 

Twenty-seven (27) War Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk.

The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall...

By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.. 

Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks.

These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens.

They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. 

Don't ever forget it.' 



By the way, this is a true story.
