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."
She’s Blown It! POTUS Cancels UK Visit After PM May Grovels to EU, Whines Over Trump Tweets
Saturday, December 02, 2017
A planned “working visit” to the United Kingdom by U.S. President Donald Trump has been cancelled following Prime Minister Theresa May’s decision to publicly upbraid him over Twitter retweets.
The prime minister said the president was “wrong” to share videos purporting to show Muslims committing acts of violence while on a visit to the Middle East, where she is attempting to curry favour with local dictators.
President Trump did not hesitate to rebuke the British politician, telling her: “Don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!”
News that the president has cancelled a planned “working visit” to open the new U.S. embassy in London came in the early hours of the following morning. “The idea of a visit has obviously been floated, but not December and
not January. I would not expect a Trump visit in January,” a senior U.S.
diplomat toldThe Telegraph.
This unwelcome development comes only a little over two months since
Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam speculated that May — who
supported Remaining in the European Union in 2016, and leads a
Remainer-dominated Cabinet — would attempt to manufacture a row with the
Trump administration in order to sabotage Britain’s prospects outside the bloc.
“Look at the way she treated President Trump at the United Nations,” he reminded readers in a September 2017 think piece. “Instead of using her speech to promote Britain in the world, she
used it to attack President Trump on immigration and refugees, as well
as harping on about climate change deals and a long-deceased Pakistani
prime minister. Not a single mention of the word ‘Brexit’.”
May was installed against the wishes of the Leave vote. After a democratic referendum, everybody tolerated her undemocratic appointment.
Nobody wanted her, and she's been given more than enough chances, and she's blown them every step of the way. She sought to (deliberately, in my view) hand the 2017 election over to Jeremy Corbyn by sabotaging her 20 point lead with an unnecessary, unpopular manifesto.
She even said she wanted to make sure Britain didn't have an unfair trading advantage over the EU!!
THAT is not the position that a strong national leader takes. The EU has been unfairly strangling Britain for decades. It was unfair for British leaders to mislead the public into a federalised European superstate when in reality they signed up for a common market. Why does fairness only go one way?
The EU does not deserve fairness, but this is so typical - the feigned weakness and helplessness from EU puppets, where they needlessly negotiate from a position of weakness and act like their hands are tied, because they're so dedicated to ignoring and bypassing their own people.
