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."
Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that she and Will Smith have secretly been separated for seven years after growing "exhausted" from trying to save their "fractured" marriage. Plus, Gavin Newsome has signed a bill to create the "Ebony Alert", a special missing-persons alert exclusively for black people.
Nothing upsets and angers Jada Pinkett Smith more than getting accused of something she definitely did! Anytime Jada has an opportunity to embarrass Will she sure the hell doesn’t disappoint. As a wife, I could never embarrass and disrespect my husband in this way. I grew up in the 90s and Will Smith was an inspiration, he had everything; Likeability, looks, humour, he was insanely cool and charming.
To see the husk of a man that is with us today is really depressing, this woman has completely and utterly destroyed a great man's life. I look at Will Smith and I see a victim of domestic abuse.... His silence is not shameful, it is sad and tragic and enables his abuser to not only carry on, but also to have public support. My heart aches for him.
“She’s for the streets.” I love how Candace just tells it like it is with no apologies.
