USA Afraid?

[night driver]

Afraid?

My only fear is that I won't die well. In the Lord's arms, doing my Duty to my wife, and family.

There are ways to die well, and ways to NOT die well.
Since I am WELL PAST young, and really, only the young die good, dying WELL is going to take some work.
I am fervently praying that I will get to say SYOTOS and mean it and DO it.
Failing that, dying WELL is the other alternative. Dying FOR something bigger or greater than myself.

And therein lies MY fear.


SYOTOS... See You On The Other Side.

Ive pulled triggers before, Unkle Sam paid me to do it, but now Im older, a lot older , Im in no shape to run and gun, but put me somewhere above the fight, and I can do some long range help.

Same here. Retired military, trained to shoot and fight, but to old and past my prime to do more than stand my ground in a die in place scenario to prevent the enemy from passing without paying a severe price. Sort of like the old Viking tactic of putting their oldest warriors at the front of their advance to give them the opportunity of a guaranteed entry into Valhalla.

Not a bad fate, really. I spent my career knowing that I'd be part of a nuclear fireball but that I'd have been part our guys getting airborne to go return the favor. At least I'd have my chance to draw blood, many times with luck.

Afraid of dying? No.
Looking forward to dying? No.
Am I afraid for my kids and grandkids. Oh yeah.
I'm afraid of not being a help to them in the future, to try and fix this mess my generation has let happen.

That pretty much sums it up.
Its real simple they want us dead, don’t make it easy.

Like everyone else, I have fears from time to time. Sometimes daily. Biggest current fear is that America is changing and won't make it, will fall and can't get back up, freedoms lost forever.
The ways I try to lose fear are to be informed, run scenarios in my mind, and to be ready for anything I can imagine.

So, naturally, my biggest fear is the fear of the unknown.

Everyday, I wake up and one of my first thoughts is 'what can I do today to prove to myself and others that I will never become a pu**y. Then, I act. I do manly things. I do physical things that increase my strength and agility. This helps give me even more confidence, and gives me a knowing that I can defend myself and family if needed. I spend a lot of time watching and studying MMA to pick up on more fighting skills and techniques (Thanks to Pluto TV)
Some days I fail myself.

I don't let neighbors, friends, or acquaintances know what my abilities are as far fighting skills, but I will help protect some of them if needed. I am confident that with my hands, feet or elbows, I can maim, disable, or KO almost anyone in 2 strikes or less. On long walks I do not carry, driving anywhere I do carry.

I am concerned about a golden horde scenario where a person, family, and neighborhood can be overwhelmed quickly and the bad guys win quickly due to sheer numbers.


I am confident that I have a loving Savior who loves and protects me much more than I ever realize. Looking back on life, amazing things has happened which I realized afterward most of time, that I had a guardian Angel protecting me. Once, the Angel used an audible loud voice to save me from a head on collision, just before a truck coming towards me veered into my lane. Great moment, as my wife didn't hear a thing.

Since I feel fairly ready, Why do I question that God will be there for me in the coming troubled times? Is my faith lacking? I do not know. I think I have enough faith, but I have doubts at times. That scares me. My thoughts about my relationship with him being strong enough, puts questions in my head. Probably just undefeated fear. While I do believe that God will have safe places for his people to go to, will I hear? Will I listen if I do hear? Another fear; fear that I will be stubborn.

Gonna be a little hard to know what to shoot at in an economic collapse and non-functional gov't.

Not true at all. You will know them by their fruit will be up close and in your face!

The Lord has saved me many times from my own folly. Only reason I can think of is he has something for me to do. I fear not death. I have no questions in my mind if I would stand alone or with brothers on the line. On that day the Lord tells me it is time, then I will gear up and step out and do my part in the Lords plan.

 

[Signwatcher]

I am NOT afraid. Guess I am too stupid to be afraid.

Life Lesson #7: Never give up. Ever.

That pretty much sums it up.

[Ractivist]

Not too old to pull a trigger. Just don't wanna....

I've seen and done things in my younger years that most folks can't imagine doing or seeing and I've got the physical and mental scars to show for it.

I don't want to be brave anymore, just wanna relax in my hot tub or pool, swing in my hammock, pet my dogs and enjoy what time I have left.

Don't want no bugabooooo.... but should it come I'll do what I must.

Are you truly a been there done that female vet......? If so, hats off.

 

[Mary Contrary]

Yes, I am mad, but I'm also afraid. Very afraid. I didn't sign up for this. I'm getting to be an old woman, too old for this. I would have preferred this to happen 10+ years ago when I want getting to be an old woman but I guess I don't get to choose,.So I'll deal with it. But... I am very afraid. Sorry

I'm old too at age 72. I'm not afraid of the world or worried about the world, not even the China virus. I am just concerned about my own personal life, money, friends, food, etc. I read books and watch DVD movies for an escape. I don't do drugs or alcohol or smoke weed, so i have no escape.....just movies or a hot bubble bath is about it. I do worry about my old age as i have no family to help me. I have a girlfriend my age who had NINE children. They all take care of her and she does not have to lift a finger. She has no stress. I only had one kid and he's gone and on drugs. I do worry about getting older yeah, but not about the world.

Having just entered puberty at age of 66, made my choices, some good many bad, and lived with the results of each. I think I have always feared life more than death. Reasons for that going back multiple decades now. Ran out of time to do the things I wanted to do in retirement. Family is ALL liberals, hopeless fools really, and can't stand to be around them now. Enemy honestly and if aware might red flag me to "save" me.
I've made my choices and can hear the Rubicon river getting closer. No place to run to, and nobody to run to, except the spirit. I feel a deep peace now. I know how this will end for me. Nobody says the second part of "Live Free or Die." It is "There are worse things than death." There are. America is a golden ideal wrapped in a brutal oligarchy. I don t mind dying to kill pedophile nation. Samson and the twin pillars are much on my mind this strange year of 2020. I am sanctioned.

since I was a child. I havnt worried about death

dont remember who, but someone died. and I was cryin. my grandma came and sat next to me, (1957 or around) I think I was saying "why did they have to die"

she told me that GOD has a huge book, in it he lists people. everyone, and by everyones name is the date they will be born, and also the date they will die. there is no way around it, that date is the limit,

but what you do with your life is up to you, you can do good stuff , or bad stuff, but you dont get extra time

thinking about it since then, it explains why a young high school football played in perfect health will suddenly drop dead, it was his time, and why some piece of crap person, smokes, eats everything. is just a lousy person, but they live a long time,

I know no reason why some people die, it may be some fancy reason, but for a little kid who was 5 years old at the time, it makes a lot of sense. and today, still makes sense
