Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
UNITED NATIONS SHOCKED WHEN CONFRONTED by Mosab Yousef as he Boldly Speaks Truth to Power
Friday, January 12, 2018
One would think this body would be impartial, more than any other body that convenes. But, this is hardly the truth. āā¦it's the one place on planet earth where nations get together and attempt to speak with one voice that's why their resolutions can make a big difference.ā According to the Jerusalem Institute of Justiceās research, āapproximately 40% of the UN Human Rights Council resolutions were against [Israel]ā.
This is taking place while nations like North Korea, Syria, and Iran carry out their daily actions of oppressive leaders, terrorism, and outright evil. The world looks at the United Nations as a defining factor towards world situations. āā¦with these repeated resolutions against Israel, it's easy to see why so many in the international community perceive Israel as a major cause of world problems.ā
As the Jerusalem Institute of Justice further explains, Communist nations teamed up with Islamic nations for the sole purpose of discrediting America while also crushing any Pro-Israel outcome during votes. āSo, in 1975 the new-found communist Muslim voting bloc spearheaded the passing of a UN resolution that officially stated Zionism is a form of racism.ā Ironically enough, according to Wikipedia, Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people that supports the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel.
To understand the outright contradiction this is, the Jerusalem Institute of Justice uses these words; āWhich is kind of like saying the civil rights movement is racism and Martin Luther King is a racist.ā Since the moment that President Donald Trump has taken over the Presidency in America, new leadership has been sending shock waves throughout the International Community. This includes his appointment of Nikki Haley as Americaās Ambassador to the United Nations.
After her first United Nations Security Council meeting, Ambassador Haley saw clearly through the smoke and mirrors. āThe Security Council just finished its regular monthly meeting on Middle East issues. Itās the first meeting like that that Iāve attended and Iād have to say, it was a bit strange.ā To her surprise, she points out a multitude of topics that were NOT discussed, āā¦but, in our meeting on the Middle East, the discussion was not about Hezbollahās illegal buildup of rockets in Lebanon, it was not about the money and weapons Iran provides to terrorists, it was not about how we defeat ISIS, it was not how we hold Bashar al-Assad accountable for the slaughter of hundreds and thousands of civiliansā¦ā
No. None of these. As Ambassador Haley addresses, this is what the United Nations Security Council discussed, āā¦instead, the meeting focused on criticizing Israel; the one true democracy in the Middle East.ā
As shocking as it was for those listening for the Ambassador to speak such blatant truth, she continues to highlight how America would no longer be repeating the decisions in previous occurrences. āIām here to say, the United States will not turn a blind eye to this anymore. Iām here to underscore the ironclad support of the United States for Israel. Iām here to emphasize the United States is determined to stand up to the U.N.ās anti-Israel biases.ā
