Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Robert Spencer - New in PJ Media : America has crossed the Rubicon. The Biden administration has
established a Disinformation Governance Board, which is bad enough in
itself, and even more ominously, it is part of the Department of
Homeland Security.
This sends the unmistakable signal that what the
administration designates as ādisinformationā will be treated as a
national security issue, with the purveyors of this alleged
disinformation being regarded as terrorists.
This is flagrantly unconstitutional, but itās easy to imagine the
Jesuitical arguments that Bidenās lawyers will make: āThe First
Amendment says that āCongress shall make no lawā¦abridging the freedom of
speech,ā but Congress was not involved here; the Disinformation
Governance Board has been established, not by Congress but apparently by
the fiat of the president or the Homeland Security Secretary, within
the Department of Homeland Security.
Maybe theyāll also say that the
freedom of speech is not being abridged at all, for the Founding Fathers
surely didnāt intend to include ādisinformationā within that freedom,
did they? Surely they never intended that ādisinformationā or āhate
speechā would be allowed to proliferate, right?
