THE WARPATH<br />

The Path.<br />

The Warpath. A Path of War.<br />

The actual definition of “warpath” means moving<br />

toward a battle, a fight—toward war.<br />

And that is what I am doing—and what I have always<br />

been doing.<br />

Whether it was the actual war against our nation’s<br />

enemies, or the war against my own weaknesses—that is<br />

what I am doing:<br />

Preparing.<br />

Sharpening my sword.<br />

Honing my skills.<br />

Maintaining the unmitigated daily discipline: IN ALL<br />

THINGS.<br />

And The Warpath is a path—it’s a route—it leads<br />

somewhere.<br />

Where does it lead?<br />

Yes, it can lead to war.<br />

And that is fine. Because I am ready; I am waiting.<br />

But the war might not <strong>com</strong>e. And that is okay.<br />

Because The Warpath is also a war against weakness—<br />

and so it leads to strength.<br />

It is a war against ignorance—<br />

and so it leads to knowledge.<br />

It is a war against confusion—<br />

and so it delivers understanding.
