ENG-Anon: "Jefferson Versus the Barbary Pirates" by Christopher Hitchens

ENG-Anon reads the "Jefferson Versus the Barbary Pirates" by Christopher Hitchens. Due to the recent years white hat Defensive Military operations as overseen by our Wartime President Donald J. Trump, due to the magnificent exploits of the US Navy, and due more recently to the collapse of a certain bridge whose namesake is mentioned in this essay, I have decided to read this relevant essay for you. It talks of the birth of the US Marine Corps. In an even more vertiginous time came the birth of the US Space Force. The essay talks about an important lesson the USA imbibed early in its life. It is heartening to see a pattern of lessons learned and challenges overcome, and today's massive events - while being far larger than any that preceded them - are no exception.
