We have to maintain the moral high ground, I agree.

However, not to the point of weakness.
We cannot let our enemy have the run of the countryside.

There are a lot more enemy than a few hundred thousand.

If not for that, we'd not be in the situation we are in. That should be obvious to everyone.

Fighting for survival and the survival of our nation will be pointless if we allow all, or most, of the enemy to stay in America.

If that is the case, let's not even delude ourselves. We don't have the stomach or the balls to do jack shit. No point even talking about it. Might as well just accept our chains.

It pays also to remember that just as we will need spys, informants and supply lines, so will they. Pretty clear that they will have the advantage there.
