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."

Our Pope, An Useful Idiot For The United Nations
BCF : Tourists in Rome are long familiar
with the image of Romulus and Remus suckling the teats of a wolf.
But
this week visitors to the Pan-Amazon Synod
encountered a new image: an Amazonian mother suckling a dog. That
picture hangs in a church next to the Vatican: Santa Maria in
Traspontina. I wandered into it the other day and was struck by the
jarring contrast between its stunning Baroque interior and the bonkers
propaganda plastered on and near its walls.
Much of the church had been
turned into a shrine to the plight and nature-worship of Amazonians.
Beneath the picture of the woman nursing a dog (while carrying a baby), a
poster declares fatuously, “Everything is Connected.”
The poster captures the sheer obnoxiousness of the pope’s
“ecological” kick. What a dismal devolution Rome has suffered under him.
What will he do next? Turn the Pantheon back into a pagan temple? Why
not? If Amazonian pantheism is a “religious experience” worthy of
Catholic respect, why not revive ancient paganism, too? Perhaps the
pope’s next synod can rehabilitate Nero.
Stripped of all of its pious cant, the pope’s Pan-Amazon Synod is
nothing more than a bald violation of the First Commandment. Pope
Francis is placing strange idols before the Triune God — in this case,
Amazonian ones. Last week, he had a contingent of Indian activists —
some of whom I have heard were flown over to Rome first-class by the
German bishops — perform pagan rituals in the Vatican gardens.
In that
moment, every prediction of his anti-modernist predecessors came true:
they all said that if the Church adopted the subjectivism of the
“Enlightenment,” it would end up blessing false religions.
