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 New York Post (NYP) editorial board slammed The New York Times
(NYT) also known as the Duranty Times !!!!on Thursday for conceding that Hunter Biden’s laptop, and the
contents on it, are real.
“Forgive the profanity, but you have got to be s–tting us,” the NYP wrote.
“First, the New York Times decides more than a year later that Hunter
Biden’s business woes are worthy of a story. Then, deep in the piece, in
passing, it notes that Hunter’s laptop is legitimate.”
There
were email exchanges between Hunter and other colleagues about “Burisma
and other foreign business activity,” the NYT noted in a story
published Wednesday. “Those emails were obtained by The New York Times
from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned
by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop.”
“The email and others in
the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the
investigation,” the NYT reported.
The NYP later mocked the Times,
alleging its New York counterpart failed to dig in and push back on
deflections from the Biden family.
“Authenticated!!! You don’t say. You mean, when a newspaper actually
does reporting on a topic and it doesn’t just try to whitewash coverage
for Joe Biden, it discovers it’s actually true?” the NYP wrote.
