Via BlackFive: ARMY STRONG
Yes. This is the standard of character for our military - and our citizens!
CHARACTER. HONOR. STRENGTH. PERSEVERANCE. DUTY.
Words which have - tragically - fallen into disrepute. Words distained by liberals. Words which are dengrated by the "intelligentsia" of our day.
Well, mooonbats, here's what I have to remind you:
If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War. - George WashingtonLet us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. - GW, again
War - An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will. - and again
Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. - Thomas Jefferson
Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition. - Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. - Thomas Jefferson
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.- Abraham Lincoln
Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. - Abraham Lincoln
Just a smattering of scattered thoughts...
God bless our military. May He bless their service, and guide them in the ways of truth and courage. May He give them His strength and wisdom, and may He bring them home in victory and honor!
God bless the Armed Forces of the United States of America!
