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."
As an Israeli who is about to be one of the soldiers on that field, I would like to say thank you, for showing the world not only the bad but the good, with all your phrasing true to be on the defending side of us, we are not the kind of army who wants to attack and demolish, but will do so for it's defensive reasons, a lot more Israeli warfare tech can be included but I like the list.
Great video! But there are many more:
1. The Python air to air missiles, will hunt an enemy airplane even if shot to the wrong direction. Has a 360 degree hunting ability. No way to escape it.
2. Trophy active defense system for tanks and vehicles. Will shoot an incoming anti tank missile or RPG in the air.
3. The helmet for pilots made by Elbit that enables the pilot to use his helmet and head motions to lock targets. Used now world wide.
4. Iron beam will revolutionize the battle field with active lasers, it’s now almost operational.
5. The whole field of unmanned machine guns which Israel leads. Mossad used one last year to eliminate the leader of the Iranian nuclear program. Remote controlled.
6. Arrow missiles that can shoot down ballistic missiles and outside the atmosphere targets like satellites.
7. Confidential: a system that detects and eliminates tunnels. A game changer against Hamas and other enemies.
The list goes on and on. For example look into robotics, unmanned vehicles and boats and more.
