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."
US secures Kabul airport to evacuate staff from country
Tuesday, August 17, 2021
The US military has secured the perimeter of Kabul airport as its diplomats were being evacuated from war-torn Afghanistan amid the Taliban takeover. Commercial flights have mostly been suspended, stranding hundreds of Afghans and other foreign nationals.
People of the peaceful community showing their peaceful side. There were 200,000 Afghan soldiers and only 80,000 Taliban but the moment US left, Afghan soldiers surrendered or joined Taliban. Its funny how they have audacity to say "international communities turned their back on Afghanistan".
The US chose that Secretary of State because they needed someone who could lie without Blinken. We Americans stopped listening to our politicians a long time ago because of all their lies and B.S. If Blinky is not lying then Uncle Joe is lying, if Uncle Joe is not lying then Mafia Don is lying...
American politicians cannot lose any credibility because they never had any to begin with...the only people who take American politicians seriously are foreigners, which is why they are the only ones that show them on these videos. If Uncle Joe really believed that it would take the Taliban 90 days to take the Afghan capital then he is truly a simpleton who is too stupid to be president.
Mr. Nice Guy G.I. shooting at the mob racing towards the planes? Those Afghans got run over by the stampeding mob of course!
I do admire my people from Myanmar who choose to stay and fight for their own Independence and create their dream. I am proud of my people for fighting instead of running. I also choose to live in Myanmar together with my people until they win.
