Me too, Darkwing.
Thanks for your service and for speaking out, Lt. Col. Repya.
Now home again, though less than before
His love and life, beside him now
Their life together, sprung again.
Still, laughter found, with no meadows run,
Together once more, life begun
And each told the other
So love, my love, my thanks
For you did remember, remember me.
So their fellows they now did ask
For duty done, for task fulfilled
For my price paid, beyond gold or geld
Will you remember, remember me?
Thank you for your weary views. Many of us share your opinions but differ in our resolve as to how to proceed.
One course is without a doubt not reliable, inasmuch as it revolves mostly around a failed concept of self-will and lack of trust in a higher power. For many rugged individuals it appears suicidal to put one's trust in outworkings of Providance and let the enemy and external forces combine to ultimate defeat because hasty types read this as surrender and non-involovement...which of course it is certainly not.
The weary may seek respite and find renewal in the knowledge that others will carry the flag and continue the quest. Justice will be done and served no matter the cost or the price. We will be victorious and all of our enemies at home and abroad will be defeated.
BTTT.
Lieutenant Colonel, I salute you, Sir.
Oh, so that's what they mean by "ending a war"!
See, I always thought that "ending a war" meant bring hostilities to a close. Now I see that -- for 'Rats, the MSM and leftists in any case -- "ending a war" means stepping aside, cutting off aid to and deligitimizing those defending themselves against thuggish or totalitarian aggression, and letting the war escalate at the hands of an unleashed and unrestrained enemy, to the point where literally millions are murdered and tens of millions enslaved.
It's rather an odd way to "end war," but it's good to know that's what they mean!
My list of redundancies grows. thanks.
