Dean Koontz Quotes
These People Weren't Navy SEALs Or Army Rangers, Weren't Trained By The Best Professional Warriors In The World, Weren't Seasoned By A Real War In Which They Had Encountered An Enemy Who Fought Back. They Lacked The Honor Of SEALs And Rangers, Lacked Ideals That Stiffened The Spine In Times Of Peril. They Were Fanatics, Driven By Emotion Rather Than Reason. Their Commitment Was To Destruction Instead Of To The Preservation Of What Was Good, And This
commitment Made Them Feel Dangerous, Therefore Powerful And Superior. Being Dangerous, However, Wasn't The Same As Being Powerful And Certainly Didn't Support A Claim To Superiority. Like All Barbarians, They Were Vulnerable To Panic And Confusion When The Destruction They Wished To Wreak Was Visited Instead Upon Them.
