"Never fear your enemy but always respect them." -- John Basilone
Isaiah 6:8
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us?
And I said,
Here am I; send me..
Background scene for Isaiah 6:8. In the vision, as Isaiah approaches, he sees G-d and an angel.
The angel has 3 pairs of wings, the upper pair covering the angel's face, the
lower pair covering the angel's feet, and using the middle pair to hover in
G-d's midst. Remember that angels have no soul, and have no temptation, and are
somewhat independent extensions of G-d's glory. As Isaiah approaches, he sees G-d, thinking
& speaking somewhat to himself, and then thinking out loud. G-d makes the first statement "Whom shall I send," almost as if
the angel is not present, almost as if the angel is part of G-d, and almost as
if G-d is thinking out loud.
The second statement
"and who will go for us?" seems to include the angel and other beings as part of his
group, and might even be including
mankind as the other element of "us." Isaiah then speaks. Normal,
non-humble
conversation would have had Isaiah speaking with himself, "I" in the subject position
at the first portion of the sentence. The subject position is normally a declaration with
what follows as the "new information" in the declaration, positive assertion,
etc. of the speaker. This does not occur in Isaiah 6:8. Nor does the objective
case "me" occur. "Here am I" maintains "I" as the subject, but the
declaration starts with "here" and has the "equals connector " "am"
linking the new
information "I" at the end of the sentence. It is the only way
(In English) to humbly grammatically announce one's
presence. One would not address G-d beginning with the word "I." The
last line "send me" is also not perfect for humble English as it can be interpreted as a
command rather than a humble indication of volunteerism.
See below that the Russian
translation
has a
more proper humble structure. (1) Мне in the verse is almost like a Japanese topic marker
"は" "As to me," as
in "As to me." The "кого" "of who" and the dictionary case
of "to send" shows G-d's
thinking "of who, as to me, to send?" The English "shall" is too strong
for this first thought. "Who to send" is a better introductory thought. Not
so strong as "I will send who?," since the term "as to me" makes a more pensive questioning
of who would be right "as to me."
Next, the "who goes for us" is clearly equivalent translation.
This sentence is stronger, but relates to "us" and is therefore more inclusive
and "group suggestive." It indicates direct strength, but in the way of
consensus.
The sentence structure has switched from a singular G-d wondering what would be
appropriate, to a group importance of "who goes for us." Isaiah then
states "And I
said" as to relate the vision in the past tense with the conversation
having occurred in the past.
In the line related to
be said to G-d from Isaiah, the "Here am I" is accomplished in Russian with two words
that lack the more arrogant mandated link. The two words are вот "here " and Я "I".
"Here I" can be thought of in English as "I, here." The connection is
appropriately weak, lacking the more arrogant pronouncement that would be
similar to "I say to you
that I AM here." So Russian treats the location sentence with more
deference due to its simplicity and economy of words. Russian also has a
penchant, greater than in English, to place the "new information" at the end of
a sentence. The "Here I" is not only humble, it lacks the arrogant
connector "am", and places the new information "here in your presence is I" at
the end of the sentence.
The last two words
"пошли меня" includes the perfective aspect of urging to send, but does
NOT
translate as a command. Yandex translates "пошли" as "Let's go."
It is almost as a
suggestion to get going, but less of a robot send and more of an "I propose to
act "of/with" you in future." The last word "меня" is accusative/genitive "as to me"/"of
me". (accusative/genitive Series меня - тебя - (н)его - (н)её - нас - вас -
(н)их)
almost similar to the Japanese-like topic marker "は" mentioned above. Putting it together it might be
said to translate as "as to me, let(s) send," a verbose, humble, and
very non commanding way to emphasize the
putative permission being suggested. This is a far better grammatical
structure than the English "send me" which is a more harsh "command" without
the use of
modifying prepositional softening words such as "please" "is it possible
to" and "may I be sent", etc.
"The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another" -- Milton Friedman

"There are persons
who constantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation, and pernicious
influence of wealth. They cry out loudly against all banks and corporations, and
a means by which small capitalists become united in order to produce important
and beneficial results. They carry on mad hostility against all established
institutions. They would choke the fountain of industry and dry all streams".

When the enemy were returning from Concord, he was among the foremost in hanging upon their rear and assailing their flanks. During this fighting Warren was nearly killed, a musket ball striking part of his wig. When his mother saw him after the battle and heard of his escape, she entreated him with tears again not to risk life so precious. "Where danger is, dear mother," he answered, "there must your son be. Now is no time for any of America's children to shrink from any hazard. I will set her free or die." -- Joseph Warren

“And how can man die
better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples

Thomas Babington Macaulay, Lays of Ancient Rome
Quote....
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This prescious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England...
Quote....

God save our gracious Queen; Long live our noble Queen; God
save the Queen!
Send her victorious; Happy and glorious; Long to reign over us; God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise; Scatter her enemies; And make them
fall;
Confound their politics; Frustrate their knavish tricks; On Thee our hopes we fix; God
save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store; On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws; And ever give us cause; To sing with heart and voice; God save
the Queen!
Not in this land alone; But be God's mercies known; From
shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see; That men should brothers be; And form one family; The wide
world over.
From every latent foe; From the assassins blow; God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend; For Britain's sake defend; Our mother, prince, and friend; God
save the Queen!
Lord grant that Marshal Wade; May by thy mighty aid; Victory bring;
May he sedition hush; And like a torrent rush; Rebellious Scots to crush; God save the
King!
My Rifle: The Creed of a US Marine
by Major General William H. Rupertus (USMC, Ret.)
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but
this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must
master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must
fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must
shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds
we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that
count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn
it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories,
its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage
as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my
rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of
my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
“What a man truly wants, he must dream about, think
about, tell about and do"
-Theodore Herzl
"I, ..., do hereby swear, before the Great
and Living God, that during my engagement, and while I am an employee of
Russell, Majors, and Waddell, I will, under no circumstances, use profane
language, that I will drink no intoxicating liquors, that I will not quarrel or
fight with any other employee of the firm, and that in every respect I will
conduct myself honestly, be faithful to my duties, and so direct all my acts as
to win the confidence of my employers, so help me God."

Twelve O'Clock High Dialogue:
Gen. Savage - "You liked Keith Davenport, a lot I
mean."
Maj. Stovall - "Yes Sir, I thought he was one of the
finest men I ever knew."
Gen. Savage - "Same way the boys felt, I'm sure.
Loyalty is a fine thing. Well. Thanks for the coffee major."
Maj. Stovall - "General Savage, I'd like to tell you
something else, I think. I'm a lawyer by trade. I think I'm a good one. And when a good
lawyer takes on a client he does it because he believes in the client's case, and that's
all that matters. When I came over to England, I took on my biggest client.
That client is the 918th Bomb Group. -- I
want to see my client win its case. Does that answer what you had in mind?"
Gen. Savage - "On the button."
Maj. Stovall - "What did you have in mind,
exactly?"
Gen. Savage - "I need time, time before those
transfers go through."
Maj. Stovall - "Um Hum, How much time?"
Gen. Savage - "As much time as we can get. 10 days
anyway."
Maj. Stovall - "Well, it will take those squadron
adjutants two days to draw up all those requests; And, lets see; I believe in
thorough methodical work, everything in order; I've got a good deal of stuff on my desk
here, so, it might be three days before I can get around to them."
Gen. Savage - "Thats five."
Maj. Stovall - "It'll take a couple of days to check
them, that makes seven; Then those squadron adjutants are pretty sloppy sometimes, and I
certaintly don't want this group criticized for sloppy paper work, do you general?"
Gen. Savage - "couldn't permit it."
Maj. Stovall - "So my guess is that every one of those
requests may have to go back to the squadron adjutant to be done over. By the time I
re-check them, It will be ten days anyway before they can be ready for signature."
Gen. Savage - "What a way to run an outfit. You
red tape adjutants are all alike."
Maj. Stovall - "That's right sir."
"But Harvey, there could be trouble in this."
Maj. Stovall - "I don't think so sir, I've never
heard of the jury convicting the lawyer."
We
must remember that:
It is the
Marine, not the reporter, that has given us
Freedom of the Press.
It is the
Marine, not the poet, who has given us Freedom
of Speech.
It is the
Marine, not the campus organizer, who has given
us the right to demonstrate.
It is the
Marine, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath
the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who
allows the protester to
burn our flag."
Gen. Savage: The one thing which is never expendable is your obligation to this group. This group... this group - that has to be your loyalty; your only reason for being.

Goldwater I sometimes remember, that during the Presidential Campaign in
summer of 1964, as an 11 year old boy living in Macon, GA, I had the opportunity to hear
Goldwater's speech and shake his hand twice. We had just moved to 3300 Placid Place,
within a mile or two walking distance to Westgate Mall. I'd heard that the campaign
was coming to Westgate, and excited at the prospect of seeing my first campaign event, a
hastily ran and walked from my new home (we had just moved to that location during March
1963) to the front of Westgate Mall. I managed to sit about 20 feet from the
speaking stand and listened intently to the speech. As only of the very few very
young people there I caught the eye of Mrs. Goldwater and she smiled back at me several
times. I shook Goldwater's hand once after the speech, and then again in the
motorcade as it passed along Pio Nono Avenue in front of Macon Mall.

principles and spiritual ideals...
If anyone doubts the depth and sincerity of the attachment of the
American people to their institutions and Nation, if anyone doubts the
sacrifices which they have been willing to make in behalf of those
institutions and for what they believe to be the welfare of other
nations, let them gaze upon this monument and other like memorials that
have been reared in every quarter of our broad land.
Let them look upon the representative gatherings of our VETERANS, and
let them remember that America has dedicated itself to the service of
God and man.
