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."
No Mr. Biden, the War with Jihadists Continues by Mario Alexis Portella ·
Wednesday, September 08, 2021
Faith Freedom International : President Joe Biden publicly announced the evacuation of U.S.
citizens and Afghan allies as if it were a triumph, and that his
Administration had planned for such a contingency in case the Afghan
military collapsed.
He vehemently rejected
criticism of his decision to end America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan,
hailing what he called the “extraordinary success” of the evacuation of
Kabul and declaring the end of an era in which America uses military
power “to remake other countries.” In reality, the facts do not
support Biden’s position, especially after the ISIS-K attack that kill
13 U.S. military personnel and hundreds of slaughtered and wounded
Afghans.
One denial or cover-up by Washington has been the legitimate and
inevitable threat of terrorists other that the Taliban in Afghanistan. For example, just like President Donald Trump, Biden held that ISIS-K
posed little or no danger to Americans on U.S. soil, hence he turned
his focus elsewhere during the long drawdown that culminated in
Monday’s official end of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan.
ISIS-K, according to experts,
was nearly neutralized by 2019 thanks to joint U.S. and Afghan
counterterrorism efforts, but it regrouped and morphed into a
splintered, urban-based network that poses dangers to American interests
overseas — and potentially on U.S. soil.
Various media reports
had revealed that the White House was actually caught by off guard and
preparing for vacation en masse when Kabul fell as Biden had to send
back troops he pulled out to separately and heroically to evacuate those
who were able to get to the airport. On Monday, U.S. House Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) tweeted:
“As
the Afghan government fell, the Taliban gave U.S. officials the option
to take control of Kabul. They PASSED and instead opted to willingly
surrender the city to the Taliban and control only the airport till
8/31! HOW MANY MORE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED?!?”
One can accept the veracity of Hice’s statement or deny it. However, even the Washington Post, which has substantially been favorable to Biden and his handlers, reported Saturday that
as the Taliban were sweeping through Afghanistan, they gave the U.S.
government the option to secure Kabul, which would have allowed untold
numbers of people who are still trapped there now to have gotten out
safely. Apparently, Biden’s military refused, opting instead for control
only of Kabul’s airport, leading directly to the disaster we have seen
unfold over the last two weeks.
