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 Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Who Are They & What Do They Represent?
That is absolutely true, but it is also
true that in another sense, the Armageddon scenario is already upon us.
Joe Biden may appear to be simply a dementia-ridden puppet fronting for a
corrupt, America-Last administration, but his failure as president is
so comprehensive, so all-encompassing, that it has taken on
eschatological dimensions: Old Joe Biden has unleashed the Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse.
Armageddon, if you haven’t read the Book of Revelation lately, is the
place where the forces of evil gather for the final battle with the
faithful (Revelation 16:16). The same Biblical book, which is the last
book of the New Testament, presents the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
(the final destruction of the world) in a terrifying vision that is
often understood as referring to the end times. First there is “a white
horse, and its rider had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he
went out conquering and to conquer.” The second horse is “bright red;
its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that men should
slay one another; and he was given a great sword.” Then follows “a
black horse, and its rider had a balance in his hand,” apparently for
the rationing of food in a time of famine. Finally, there is “a pale
horse, and its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they
were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with
famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”
(Revelation 6:1-8)
The four horses and four afflictions, conquest, war, famine, and
pestilence, neatly encapsulate the administration of Joe Biden. Old Joe
himself is to a great degree responsible for this impression, as he
seems to like to sound apocalyptic notes. He certainly has done so more
than once, particularly when he declared on
Dec. 16, 2021, “For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe
illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their
families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.” There’s the Biden
pestilence.
Yes, COVID-19 came upon us during the Trump years, but Biden
promised to end it, and that turned out to be yet another of his empty
promises. With Anthony Fauci threatening that “more rigid” restrictions are in the offing, pestilence looks as if it’s going to be a permanent feature of the Biden era. There is more.
