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."
BCF : One can lie about “collusion” with impunity. But to speak the truth about collusion is to be smeared as “xenophobic,” “racist,” and “nativist.”
Historians will dissect the origins and spread of the mass hysteria of Russian “collusion.”
The farce infected the media. It discredited the Democratic Party. And it warped the popular culture between 2015 and 2020.
“Collusion” destroyed what was left of respect for the Washington FBI, the CIA, and the liberal news media. When 50 former “intelligence” officers can attest, right before the election, that the Hunter Biden scandal emails are likely Russian disinformation designed to help Trump, then there is nothing much left of the reputation of our once best and brightest.
There are many theories of the origins of “collusion.” Some believe
that Hillary Clinton, and her firewalls of the Democratic National
Committee, Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS that hired Christopher Steele,
simply sought a cover counter-narrative to hide her own illegally
transmitted and received State Department emails and spin-off scandals.
At the time “collusion” took off, Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton were
on the tarmac in Phoenix, sexual deviate Anthony Weiner’s wife was
emailing with Hillary Clinton, and copies ended up on Anthony’s lurid
laptop. The hacked DNC computers and all proof of supposed Russian
“collusion” culprits had been mysteriously turned over by the FBI to the
Clinton-friendly firm, Crowdstrike, for recovery of lost files.
There were other catalysts for the “collusion” mythology. By 2015,
Democrats were embarrassed their Russian “reset” love fest had blown up
in its face. Finger-wagging about human rights to a thug like Vladimir
Putin—while being terrified of selling offensive weapons to beleaguered
Ukraine—was a “talk-loudly-while-carrying-a-twig” prescription for
disastrous humiliation.
