Defence Forces - On Leave in Ukraine:

I am wondering how many members of our New Zealand Defence Forces have been granted 'leave' to fight in Ukraine? - Where are our SAS elite warriors right now?

Before I start .. I need to recomend C&Rsenal. - Their video reviews of military arms (both ancient and modern) are SUPERB.

Every law maker and "gun control activist" would gain much enhanced understanding if they were to watch C&Rsenal's Othais & Mae 'Small Arms Primers' explain and show how guns actually work ...

Every national Government that I know maintains military forces to serve as the 'Power Force' to enable that government to achieve it's policies and political wishes by the application of deadly force.

- Public Relations currently requires that these armed forces be known as "Defence Forces" whether they are actually designed for OFFENSIVE deployment or for Defensive use.

The phrase “Si vis pacem, para bellum” is adapted from a statement found in 4th century Latin author Vegetius Renatus's tract De Re Militari - it translates as “Therefore he who desires peace, should prepare for war".

I fully support our budget for defensive force deployment .. when all is said & done - if New Zealand had no means of defending our Fisheries Zone regulations and other basic territorial assets - they would be pirated and stripped within decades.

There is an obvious and moral RIGHT for every individual or grouping of individuals to defend themselves and their families from aggression .. and anyone failing to prepare to be able to protect and defend themselves would be VERY NEGLIGENT.

In a world where there may be groups of aggressive & lawless offenders - EVERYONE has a responsibility to prepare from the simplest of requirements such as having a secure home with doors that can be secured against intruders - up to ensuring that their loved ones are capable of defending themselves from violent attack.

The present Government of NZ and our current Police heirarchy are hell-bent on limiting basic civil rights and appear determined to limit lawful access to firearms for the law abiding here while neglecting and under resourcing LAW ENFORCEMENT of the local criminal underclass - while seeming agreeable to aiding self defense in remote European territories.
