"They say you die twice. Once when you stop breathing and the second, a bit later on, when somebody mentions your name for the last time." The Soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, you Soldier How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my Church have you been true?" The Soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry guns to defend freedom, Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most 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 enemy begins to creep. 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 a 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, Soldier, You've borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've served your time in H**L “ Rest in Peace Soldier, your Watch is over, Report to the Supreme Commander for your final duty station. Stand easy Soldier, for the Troopers that you have inspired now have the Watch and will do whatever is necessary to keep our country safe and free. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends, brother warriors and fellow Americans. CWO USN (Retired)

World leaders misjudge President Trump because they are using the wrong prism to view him. They view him as another career politician/diplomates that operates under the accepted norms, restrictions and “loyalty” that career politicians/diplomates operate under: Priority being their own political career, next to their donors and financial supporters, next to their political party and lastly the public. Trumps first administration failed because he surrounded himself with career politicians. After losing the election, Trump assembled a Team to analyze his first tour, identify problems and solutions to meet his goals in the second tour. Conclusion, he was not a career politician, so don’t try to be one. Be the businessman he is. Select non-career or rogue politicians to fill all key positions. Thus, America has a totally different management style for the world to deal with. Businessmen’s basic premise is to look at the ROI – Return on Investment, in all decisions. Career Politician World Leaders look at Military Alliances as forever agreements…Trump looks upon them as an agreement needing to be reevaluated and validated: war by war. 17 days before the war started, America advised our “Allies” in Europe and Asia that there was a probability of war if negotiations with Iran failed. He also provided them with a brief on the threats posed by Iran, including Europe being within range of Iranian ICBM’s. Trump did not as for any direct support; no troops, plans, or ships in the event of war. What he did ask was that all countries with Joint US bases honor the terms of the military agreements and allow us to use those bases. Second, he asked that we be allowed overflights of their airspace enroute to Iran and finally that if they did not support the war, for whatever reason, to not be overly vocal about it. Basically a “Hold my coat” request. On 27 Feb negotiations broke down and the following day the war started. Most European countries, as well as Asia, responded by condemning the war publicly, refusing use of Joint Bases and denying overflights, plus the now infamous “Iran is not our War”.
