The facts don't lie. For the average citizen, the front line is not on some distant beach or jungle in a foreign country. The front-line for an average citizen is right outside the front door of their homes. The war-zone isn't on our streets in the form of tanks or armed soldiers. The war-zone is the distance between Point-A our homes, and Point-B our daily destinations. Whether the war-zone comes in the form of our daily commute to work, a quick trip to the grocery store, gas station, a stroll around the neighborhood or sadly in our public schools. Make no mistake about it, danger, and unpredictability lurk around every corner.
