   Finishing Wars in a World of Weenies   
   August 28, 2025 / Jack Marshall   
      
      
   I don’t know when the United States began its disastrous slide toward   
   weenie-ism, but it’s just got to stop. Unfortunately there are so many   
   cultural pathogens running amuck that the Trump Presidency has to try to   
   solve—multiculturalism, transmania, gun-phobia, censorship, the death of   
   journalism, the corruption of the professions, “the good illegal   
   immigrant,” DEI, and on, and on—getting around to the weenie epidemic   
   will be a long shot at best. But I can dream…   
      
   The latest example of the Weenies making trouble is the Israel-Gaza war.   
   Israel’s situation could not be clearer: it has to eliminate Hamas once   
   and for all, or else resign itself to more attacks on citizens in   
   perpetuity. To eliminate Hamas, Israel will have to kill some citizens,   
   destroy some buildings, harm children. Hamas wants to make them do that.   
   But the responsibility for the war lies with Hamas, as does the   
   responsibility for ending it. Hamas can surrender.   
      
   Ah, but the Weenies are out in force, condemning Israel for doing what   
   nations that are attacked have to do: strike back decisively, and make   
   certain that the aggressors are never in a position to attack again. The   
   United States understood this in World War II, but a confluence of   
   factors that I have neither the time nor patience to expound on   
   now—though a major one is the ascendancy of women in politics, punditry   
   and the professions—has blurred the clarity of that principle, resulting   
   in such fiascos as the Vietnam War, the first Iraq war, the second Iraq   
   War, and Biden’s Afghanistan debacle.   
      
   Arguably, the situation facing Israel is even clearer than any of those,   
   but even in Israel itself, weenie-ism is rotting the moral and ethical   
   core of society. That is another nation, like the U.S., which one would   
   think would have the guts, determination, and courage to do the right   
   thing even when, as the poet said, all about them are losing their heads   
   and blaming it on Israel, and can trust itself when everyone doubts them.   
      
   I hope Israel does, but the Weenies are powerful in their weakness, and   
   people will die if they gain the upper hand.
