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."
The representative of Rodent Infested Baltimore, Senior Democrat Elijah Cummings kicks the bucket
Thursday, October 17, 2019
This is what happens when you lie and regularly target Donald Trump and key figures in the impeachment investigation.
YOU tend to kick the bucket!! The Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings died early on Thursday due to complications from longstanding health challenges, his congressional office said on Thursday.
He was 68.A sharecropper’s son, Cummings became the powerful chairman of a House committee that investigated Donald Trump,
and was a formidable orator who passionately advocated for the poor in
his black-majority district, which encompasses a large portion of
Baltimore, Maryland,as well as richer suburbs.
As chairman of the oversight and reform committee, Cummings led
multiple investigations of the president’s governmental dealings,
including several in 2019 relating to the president’s family members
serving in the White House.
Trump responded by
criticising the Democrat’s district as a “rodent-infested mess” where
“no human being would want to live”. The comments came weeks after Trump drew bipartisan condemnation
following his calls for Democratic congresswomen of colour to get out
of the US “right now” and go back to their “broken and crime-infested
countries”.
