TEDxAmsterdam 2011 - Peter van Uhm

This one of the more succinct explanations of the importance of a well trained and armed military forces. The General also shares the story of his father's experience trying to shoot Nazis as they invaded The Netherlands. This story illustrates the need for the "keep and bear arms" and have "well regulated Militia".

I love the reaction of the audience when he is standing there with an unloaded rifle!



I echo his plea that we support the men and women who serve in our place on the front line of liberty; for without their sacrifice and dedication the freedoms that enable all that we hold dear would crumble.
