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."
Is the U.S. Government Now TRACKING ‘Right-Wing Extremists’?
Wednesday, May 11, 2016
An FBI partner group called me one. Now — every time, dozens of times — I
trigger a 20-minute investigation at the airport.
My latest in PJ Media: "Is the Obama administration keeping tabs on “right-wing extremists”? This question comes up because I’ve been informed that someone certainly is keeping tabs on me. It started last summer.
I don’t consider myself a “right-wing
extremist” — but the far-Left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) does,
and the FBI uses the SPLC as a resource. Since
then, every time I fly — and I fly almost weekly – I can’t check in
online. I am always directed to go to the airline counter. There — as soon as I present my identification — the trouble starts. It generally proceeds like this:
The clerk types a great deal, frowns at the screen, types some more,
asks me what my middle name is, types still more, looks at me
quizzically, and gets on the phone.
They’re very secretive about these calls, sometimes even moving to a
different desk to make them. They refuse to tell me anything about them
afterward, including who they called or why.
The call usually takes around ten minutes. The whole process takes
fifteen or twenty minutes. Then I am checked in and allowed to go to my
gate.
After these long, unexplained delays — which had never occurred prior to last summer — happened to me five or six times
consecutively, I asked an FBI agent of my acquaintance about it, and he
kindly agreed to look into it. A few days later he told me that the
strange delays weren’t about me, but about someone else: as it happened,
he said, someone on some watch list or other is named Robert Spencer
and shares my birth date.
