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."
AOC: The Little Communist Dictator Who Dreams of Setting the U.S. on Fire

The little Communist Dictator
ElAmerican : In her fantasy world, or in her absurdly deranged mind, it is her āconstitutionalā duty to call for the dismissal of Supreme Court justices who rule against her casesā.
The house is on fire.

There is slow combustion that is beginning to
consume the walls and bend the supporting columns; some people are
juggling to try to put out the fire and keep it from collapsing,
however, others have decided to destroy everything, hitting those who
are trying to rebuild from behind, and pouring more gas on the fire. If
they are going to govern, let it be in ashes, that is what the little
dictator has determined.
In both parties ā Democrat and Republican
ā there are characters with an incendiary discourse, there are already
irreconcilable differences, and it seems difficult to make peace;
however, they agree with the laws, and respect the institutions ā
although they do it with great suspicion ā and maintain a certain
composure to prevent everything from collapsing. This last rule has an
exception: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
The
nation is going through the most polarized stage since arguably the
Civil War, Democrats and Republicans live in completely different
realities, the former in the world created by CNN where a young and
vigorous Biden is seen; the latter, bewitched by Trump, they use
insults, they detest each other, but they use our institutions to settle
conflicts. I make an exception again: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, neither
respects the rules nor is she interested in appearing to do so. She
directly hits the institutions, pushes to impeach judges and change the
rules of Congress so that things can be done as she pleases, asks to
harass senators and congressmen, and calls on mobs to protest in front
of the homes of public officials. The nation is on fire and she seems to
enjoy the fire, she wants the whole country in a bonfire and to rule
over ashes.
The dangerous thing about Ocasio-Cortez is that she is
barely a congresswoman and she already wants to destroy the system, she
is attacking members of her own party and institutions, if she goes any
further, God knows what could happen.
