Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
School officials rescinded the ban after an outcry, which shows why
it is important for free citizens to be aware and active. "Why Did a
Tennessee Grade School Ban Pork?," by Todd Starnes for Fox News, August 15 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
A Tennessee elementary school banned students from eating
ham sandwiches, BLT’s and anything else made with pork, but eventually
lifted the ban after parents complained.
Third grade teachers at Sunset Elementary School in Brentwood, Tenn.
sent home an “Approved Snack List” for the school year and it
specifically banned anything that comes from a pig. “No meats containing pork,” read the memorandum. “Starting Monday,
August 12, 2013 your child must provide their own snack from the above
approved snack list.”
Kids could nosh on raw vegetables without dips or sauces, fresh
fruit, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn – but no ribs or pork rinds. “Only choose a food from the following list to bring into school for
snack,” the memorandum stated in bold-face type. “No other food items
are permitted.” One day after the pork ban went into effect, Williamson County
Schools posted a message on their Facebook page telling parents to
ignore the rules.
