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."
‘Uncorroborated Intelligence’: Durham Report Torches FBI, DOJ For Handling Of Trump-Russia Probe
Tuesday, May 16, 2023
Daily Caller : Special Counsel John Durham found that the FBI used “uncorroborated
intelligence” when launching its probe into former President Donald
Trump, and that FBI agents failed to maintain “strict fidelity to the
law” in their investigation, according to a copy of the report obtained
by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Durham, appointed to
investigate political bias by the FBI in its investigation of President
Donald Trump, wrote that “neither U.S. nor the Intelligence Community
appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their
holdings at the commencement” of the investigation.
“Our
investigation determined that the Crossfire Hurricane investigators did
not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations
contained in the Steele reporting,” the report read.
Durham
added that the FBI “failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity
to the law.” Durham also claimed that the investigation into Trump was
continued even after “the Director of the FBI and others learned of
significant and potentially contrary intelligence,” according to the
report.

The report noted that the FBI received intelligence
that Hillary Clinton’s campaign approved “a proposal from one of her
foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal
claiming interference by Russian security services,” specifically one
that involved “tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the
Democratic National Committee” to distract the public from her email
scandals.
It notes that President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe
Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and FBI Director James Comey were
personally briefed on Clinton’s scheme, known as the “Clinton Plan” in
the report, by CIA Director John Brennan, who recorded mentioning the
plan in his handwritten notes.
