Must be difficult to put into words to describe that. Just being on your ordinary patrol and randomly have some guy try to kill you, or some truck try to run you over. As a relative of mine often says, "paying attention goes well beyond school or work."
No the west has been kidnapped by enemies within. I'll let Marcus say it. A nation can survive its fools,and even its ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable,for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the allies, heard in the halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familial to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plaque. Marcus Tullius Cicero [ ancient Roman scholar, lawyer, statesman and orator 106 BC- 438 BCJ ]
