Let me add my kudos for the essay.
The more I reflect on it, the more I see its truth. Both the GFW's/liberal limpwrists and "us" want to contain the instincts of violence and brutality. They, however, believe it is 1) not the natural state of man (they haven't looked very hard at primitive cultures) and 2) the want to COMPLETELY remove the energy that is behind that instinct. To do so, as stated, is against the natural order of things. The alternative to me makes so much more sense. Channel that energy into 1) productive uses and 2) channel it toward strong defense and, in rare cases, offense.
