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."
BLP : Omar’s 16-year-old daughter, Isra Hirsi, co-founded the U.S. chapter of the Youth Climate Strike.
The Youth Climate Strike made its mark on Friday, Sept. 20 when 150
countries participated in the organization’s largest mass protest to
date. Estimates have placed up to 4 million people joining the cause in a powerful showing of solidarity that has placed serious momentum behind globalism and carbon taxes.
The movement’s chapter in the United States was co-founded in Jan.
2019 by Isra Hirsi, the 16-year-old daughter of Somalian-born Rep. Ilhan
Omar (D-MN), to encourage students to skip school and cause a public
scene to fight climate change. “The climate crisis is such a massive issue that everything is impacted
by it… everything is intertwined in some way,” Hirsi said before the
massive event.
She participated in the rally that took place at the
Minnesota state capitol. Hirsi has made it clear that the Youth Climate Strike is about more than
raising awareness about the environment. It is really about stopping
President Donald Trump, and making sure he is booted from the White
House in 2020.
Isra looks more and more like her uncle.
