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."
Berak Obummer under fire for ‘disappointing’ Israel-Hamas conflict remarks
Sunday, October 15, 2023
The Rubin Report host Dave Rubin has criticised former US president Barack Obama’s “disappointing” remarks on the conflict between Hamas and Israel. Mr Rubin said the 48 hour delay to condemn the attack by Hamas was disappointing but “not surprising”. “His post on Twitter read like it was from ChatGPT basically,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“Kind of said all of the right things and then kind of also said nothing at the same exact time.” More than 900 Israelis have been killed since Hamas launched its assault, while almost 830 Palestinians have died as a result of bombings in the Gaza Strip in retaliation.
The death toll is expected to climb as emergency services recover bodies from the rubble with thousands more injured. I was living in the Middle East when Barry went on his "apology tour." The Egyptian, Iraqi, Saudi Arabian, and Kuwaiti people I knew all asked my the same question: "What is wrong with your President?" Best I could come up with is "He's a Democrat and I didn't vote for him."
He, both in his previous and now in his third term, funded Iran for whom Hamas is a proxy. He is largely to blame.
