This, in fact, reminds me of one of favorite G. Gordon Liddy quotes:

When Liddy's kids were little and menaced by bullies, Liddy told them to fight back. When the kids' school explained that they had a strict non-violence policy, Liddy replied, "In the late 1930s French children were taught that philosophy while German kids were taught to be fierce in battle. Given the destruction of the numerically superior French armies by the Wehrmacht in about thirty days, I prefer the German approach. The school will just have to live with it."
