“If that young lad setting out with his orders should ask today: ‘Where is the battlefield?’ The answer would be: ‘Everywhere.’”
-Unrestricted Warfare
American soldiers consider it a solemn duty to “leave no man behind.” The wounded are not abandoned on the field, POWs are to be freed, vets are to be honored and cared for.
In recent years, we have been entrenched in a new kind of war. Some call it the “Information War,” the “Silent War,” or “Culture War.” All of those are apt descriptors. Collectively, military-minded people call it fifth-generation warfare (5GW).*
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) calls it “Unrestricted Warfare.”

In February of 1999, People’s Liberation Army (PLA) colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui published the CCP’s warfare playbook, Unrestricted Warfare. Startlingly few people realize that the strategies discussed in this book provided the blueprint for our nation’s descent into chaos, conflict and division over the last 20 years—coming to a head in 2019.
“The boundaries between soldiers and non-soldiers have now been broken down,” the book explains, in line with “Mao Zedong’s theory concerning ‘every citizen a soldier’”:
With the progressive breaking down of the distinction between military technology and civilian technology, and between the professional soldier and the non-professional warrior, the battlespace will overlap more and more with the non-battlespace, serving also to make the line between these two entities less and less clear. Fields that were formerly isolated from each other are being connected. Mankind is endowing virtually every space with battlefield significance. All that is needed is the ability to launch an attack in a certain place, using certain means, in order to achieve a certain goal. Thus, the battlefield is omnipresent. Just think, if it’s even possible to start a war in a computer room or a stock exchange that will send an enemy country to its doom, then is there non-battlespace anywhere? If that young lad setting out with his orders should ask today: “Where is the battlefield?” The answer would be: “Everywhere.”
In this war, some of us who would otherwise be considered civilians have become soldiers—whether we chose to be or not! This is not an analogy or metaphor, and after five years of combat, we have walking wounded, prisoners of war, and veterans needing care.
FBI whistleblower, Garret O’Boyle experienced both conventional and unrestricted warfare. He saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet his experiences as a citizen soldier in the 5GW realm did more damage. “It has taken more of a toll than [conventional] war, and I think that’s really quite the statement. I think part of that is because I never thought I would be a target of my own government for trying to do what’s right, for trying to live up to the oath that I’ve taken.”
Unrestricted warfare is very personal, and it knows no bounds. Those who’ve been on this battlefield know that your private life and your family will be targeted.
“Is it necessary to use special means to wage psychological war aimed at soldiers’ families far back in the rear area?” ask the PLA colonels. The implied answer is, “yes.”
The most unspoken among us, and anyone who has stood in the way of the goals of this Unrestricted Warfare has been targeted, persecuted and put through the hell of lawfare.
- School parents who spoke out against the harmful covid-19 policies like forced masking and vaccinations, the sexualization of our children, and Marxist indoctrination like critical race theory. Many families still deal with the emotional and financial repercussions of being arrested and even jailed; ridiculed, canceled and cyberstalked; labeled “domestic terrorists” by Merrick Garland, the Biden Administration and the NASB.
- “Election Deniers“: Those who had the audacity to question and challenge what was manifestly not the “most secure election in history” have been imprisoned (like J6ers and Tina Peters), attacked financially and legally (like Rudy Giuliani).
- Business owners who refused to close down or knuckle under to BLM radicalism or woke perversity have been canceled, choked out of business, attacked
On and on it goes. It is understandable that millions are celebrating the victory of Donald J. Trump on November 5. But if our republic is to survive and thrive—if America is to be great again—we cannot leave these veterans of this war behind—those who stood on the front lines and took enemy fire when the cost was the highest.
The nation owes these people a debt of gratitude. The government owes them the justice they yearn for, along with restitution for the losses they suffered at the hands of the Biden regime.
Only if we refuse to leave behind the citizen-soldiers who fought for the freedom we anticipate as Trump returns to the White House—the veterans of one of the worst forms of warfare concocted by evil men—can America truly become great again.
