ning, swimming and forced marches with massive packs. It is nothing for a platoon to run six to ten miles in a predawn run five days a week. It’s nothing for our SEAL frogmen to leap out of helicopters and swim through pounding ocean surf carrying heavy explosives for hours at a stretch. High intensity weight training and high intensity cardio are utilized to toughen soldiers in peacetime for serious and deadly deeds of cunning and courage needed in wartime. You, dear reader, need to prepare yourself also. On September 11, 2001 the term of "being prepared" took on a whole new meaning for Americans. Until that moment the public was unaware of what real terror was. Now we find ourselves thrown out of our normal way of life, forever changed by a cowardly and gutless act of terrorism. No longer are American military and government establishments the only ones at risk, but our own cities where civilians dwell and thrive have become terrorist targets. Do you feel threatened? Are you afraid? How can you protect yourself? Well, the first thing you can do is get in the gym, brother. You can prepare yourself physically, because whether you like it or not the day may come when you find yourself face to face with a situation that either threatens you, your family or other people around you. You have the opportunity right now to give yourself an edge. An edge over someone, who no matter how many times a terrorist has gone through the motions of preparing the attack, he “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.” President George W . Bush Jr. September 14, 2001 “Ground Zero” WTC will be in no way prepared for physically dealing with a buffed up American citizen. You may think it sounds corny, but believe me having a physical advantage over someone can make all the difference, ask Mark Bingham. Most folks don’t know the name Mark Bingham but if there’s any justice in this world, somewhere they’ll stick up a plaque with Mark’s name on it. Along with the name Jeremy Glick and all the other redblooded American males that purposefully crashed that passenger jet in rural Pennsylvania on 9-11-01. Mark was 6’5”, weighed 250-pounds, was massive and buff, he could bench press a house and run up and down a rugby field full tilt all day long. He was a hitter. He was a jock. He was tough as nails. Mark, Jeremy and the other passengers were jammed in the back of the plane. The boys at the back of the plane found out over their cell phones that the hijackers were not after ransom rather martyrdom. They huddled and decided to go down swinging, they surer then hell weren’t gonna let any goddamned gang of punk terrorists armed with box cutters destroy any more American buildings. And so those men rolled out of the back of that plane, just like Americans have been doing since Yorktown, Gettysburg, Bastogne and Iwo Jima, they surged forward to kick terrorist ass six-ways to Friday. Of course, we all know the result of their act of bravery, 12 November 2001 <strong>Parrillo</strong> Press
ut how many lives did they save in their selfless act? I think that many people in America are afraid. Some are so afraid that believe it or not, there are those who suggest that we should shrug the 11th off. Mark it up as a learning experience and let the perpetrators slide. Hanoi Jane recently suggested that we should refuse to retaliate for fear of getting mainstream Islam mad at us. Let me see if I got this correct. An identifiable group of foreigners, idiots who want to take civilization back in time 1000 years, a group that professes as its goal destroying civilization as we know it, a group that kills more Americans than died in the entire four years of the Revolutionary War, and you college campus appeasers say we should refrain from responding because we bought this upon ourselves? Sorry Gilligan, Big Vic isn’t buying it! All I have to do is watch the news in the morning and take one good look at "Ground Zero" and I know what I have to do. I sure as hell know we’re not gonna follow your shrill advice. Frankly, you candyasses might want to step back as we bare the Iron Hand, because we’d hate to have any domestic collateral damage occur while we’re dispensing some old fashion military justice. So here’s the big question, have you prepared yourself? In the future it may be in your hands to save thousands of people from maybe a car bomb, a hit and run shooting or maybe even a hijacked airplane. Lift hard and heavy, run, take up some self defence training and how about some therapeutic 9mm-pistol practice? These are serious hobbies, tools for the serious individual serious about surviving in these serious, treacherous times. I always loved the Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared. It’s an extremely appropriate motto for these times; don’t you agree? Remember the .Com advertisement campaign that always ended with the punch line, “Are you ready?” Well, are you ready? If not, best get to training hard, heavy and often. Playtime is over people. November 2001 <strong>Parrillo</strong> Press 13
